Where is she Huia.

I will ask her, as I think she has her marriage cert. Will see if her father's name is on that. I also tried different variations of her name.
Thanks everyone for looking.

Bingo! I wondered if I should have had Sp*dy for the surname. I put in just the surname Speddy, y.o.b. 1884 +/- 3 yrs and it came up with a list which included Eleanor aged 7 in Lancaster, Lancaster.
Huia.

No, it doesn't solve it but maybe she was born to an unmarried mother and then the mother married so she is under a different name in 1891.
That happened to a relative of mine and then in the next census she was back to her birth name.

I have just looked for Ellen, Eleanor, Nell, Nellie, Nelly, Maud with the surname Spe*, b 1884 + or - 3 yrs, but no luck.
Huia.

I will have to ask. Even if she does'nt belong to this family, still can't find her on 1891 census. Thanks for looking anyway.
Hilary.

I found her in 1901 also, so I suppose if they haven't got the birth cert, that is the way to go.

Hi Christine, I am looking for someone else & that is the info she gave me. Can find her on 1901 census, aged 17 as a servant.
hilary.

I haven't found her, but do you have her birth cert and know that she actually belongs to this family because the son Frank age 7 in 1891 was registered the same qtr and year as Ellen but they aren't the same page no so therefore I would presume they weren't twins.

Christine

I can't find Ellen Maud Speddy on 1891 census. Her mother, Elizabeth died in 1886. Her father, Henry on 1891 census with 2 sons as a boarder. There is talk of Ellen being in an orphanage.
Ellen was born in 1884 Scotforth, Lancashire. Can someone help to find her please.
Thanks Hilary.
