Hi can someone look up a record on the 1911 census for me please, Mary Ann Smith born in 1896 in Birmingham, Hopefully she'll be with her father Alfred??????

Have you got her on 1901? - If so, can you post it for reference please?

Not found on 1901 I'm afraid. All I know is married in 1922 in Great Yarmouth and then the family moved to Birmingham. Just seems strange they moved there, none of the Mary Ann Smiths born in 1896 in Norfolk have the right fathers name!

Thanks Erica

Just a thought?

So she could have been born anywhere, they just happened to move to Birmingham?

What is her Father's profession from the marriage certificate?

Thanks

I'm now changing my mind as this one has the right fathers name and sisters names! Sorry

Thats Great!

Could you possibly look up Alfred born in 1861 in West Bromwich on 1911?

Sorry to be cheeky! x
