Hi LFW'S
No I havent found William and Mary Ann King in 1901.I found Mary Ann Bridger living at 1 Deans Place 1871 and in 1881 Emily King as a 1 year old Living 1 Deans Place this is where Emily King was born.In 1891 I found A william and Mary Ann King living at 3 Caine street East Battersea,but Emily's age is wrong if this is them. I think Mary Ann has consistently lied She keeps changing her age range is about 15 years different depending on which husband she with, If it is the same woman. So you can see why I am having trouble. I will order William H bird birth hope this one is right.I have William H Bird Death certificate he died July 1947 and was 68 years old was living at Thorncroft Street SW8.I hope this all makes sence Any other ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks Deborah

Thanks LFW's
I have found George Bird in 1901 census,but I can not find William H Bird or Emily( Maiden name King).Emily was born at 1 Deans Place, Vauxhall Bridge Road, Registration District St George Hanover Square, Sub district, St John, Westminster. I think they have some children by then and their names could be Mary, Ada, Walter and George I am not sure which one's were born by 1901.A family member seems to think Mary could have been the oldest but we are not sure.
Please Help Deborah

Thanks LFWS
Yes I think that may be the right family but I still cannot confirm it as I can't find William H bird or Emily (Maiden name King) in 1901 cenus. William H Bird has moved away from his family home by 1901. If it is them William has lied about his age on the marriage certificate, which is not surprising I know. Any suggestions Can you help please?
Thanks again Deborah
