Found Daisy.. Dasey Waller 14 Lowestoft, Suffolk, England Servant Gorleston Norfolk

Tracy, you are a star. My html has deserted me, it's been a while since I used a posting board!

I hope you don't mind, but I have edited it to read a bit easier... After the wonderful help I got here last time I wondered if anyone might have some tips for another little problem! I have traced my GGGF Charles Waller and can find him on two different census returns. In 1891 he and his family are listed in Lowestoft, East Suffolk like this: Charles Waller Head M 34 Coast Guard (Born Wells, Norfolk) Maud Waller Wife F 31 (Born Fareham, Hants) Edward Waller Son M 7 Scholar (Born Fareham, Hants) Anne Waller Daughter F 5 Scholar ( Born Fareham, Hants) Daisy Waller Daughter F 3 (Born Lowestoft, Suffolk) Edith Waller Daughter F 1 (Born Lowestoft, Suffolk) And in the 1901 census the listing is: Charles Waller Head M 44 Coast Guard (Born Wells, Norfollk) Bessie Waller Wife M (Yes M!) 39 (Born Wells, Norfolk) Louisa Waller Daughter F 15 Gen Domestic (Fareham, Hants) Edith Waller Daughter F 11 (Born Suffolk, Lowestoft) Bertie Waller Son 4 (Born Southwold, Suffolk) Catherine Waller Widow F 78 (Born Burnham, Norfolk) Now, there are obvious descrepancies but I'm pretty sure it's the same family. Catherine was Charles mother, so that makes sense and little Bertie would have been born after the last census. Louisa I think must be Anne, I can't be sure but she's the right age (I'm thinking her name may have been mis-written). Not sure what has happened to Daisy (She would have been 13) could she have been away from home? Edward may well have been at sea in 1901 (he was a mariner). But what I can't seem to reconcile is the wife! I've got my theories but does anyone else have any ideas??? Thanks in advance! Saff:) (Sorry it's a bit hard to read)
