Jess No she doesn't. The family are in Bermondsey in 1851 and they move around a lot. In a different County for virtually every Census til 1881. Joy

If you look at the coverage charts on freeBMD you will see that not all years are complete. (go to Main Page, bottom left of search page, then Information, Statistics, Coverage Charts, Deaths). Even the years that show 100% may not be quite that. I usually do a general search on the surname only for a year or so at a time through the period I am after (wider steps at a time if the name is uncommon) - Then you can see which quarters have noone at all for the surname, but also you may find some quarters with suspicious looking gaps!! For instance, I was looking for a Smith death (yes, I know!) and in the first quarter i checked that showed 100% on the coverage chart, I found there were no deaths for anyone called smith after the name Walter Smith......So no Williams or Winifreds!!!!! I then looked at the original pages and found Walter was at the bottom of a page and obviously the next page had not yet been done! Hope this makes some sense!??? Merry PS you can view images on FreeBMD even when they are not yet transcribed, Go to main Page, View Images and then fill in the boxes!

Martha Huntsworth born c1850 Watford, Hertfordshire. One of twins. Father is Richard (though appears as Robert in 1851). I have found her twin sister's death, but can't find her. Is BMD complete? She is not with the family in 1861. Joy
