Ages can vary by up to 2 years from census to census, depending on when the census was taken vs when the person was born.


taking her birth place as Exford, as shown on the 1911.

Do you know anything about her after 1911 - any marriage, or when did she die?
Thank-you.

dont know anything but thanks for all that info x x i think she married but not sure who and owned an antique shop in keynsham in later years but again it may not be true. my father had nothing to do with her and i dont believe she looked after himn very well as he seemed to have remained in chelwood with the power family.
