Please can anyone help me at all?
I'm looking for any info on my Grandma "Nellie" seddon (ellen or elanor) nee Bucannon or a varient of that. she was born around 1909/10. I cannot find anything on the 1911 cencus either. she married my grandad douglas vincent seddon approx in the early 1930's......or anything of the Seddons from around the gorton area, they seem to be an illusive lot :(
Thanks

It is thought that Eleanor was born on Christmas Day 1904 and her mother was Ann.
Can someone please help find them in 1911 so the poster can learn more about that line?

Thank you both, I did look & went to find her birth certificate. Yes all of the above is correct Eleanor aka Nellie was born Christmas day 1904. I'm searching her birth records more's to the point John Buchanan, her father.
Apologies I've not said thank you sooner I've only recently picked up on my genealogy :-)
