Hi i have had no luck in tracking her down in any records,. i think she was born in 1899but not sure. I think she had two sisters called Isabella and Margret, Hannah married a Thomas Bowes i think in the north east of england. They both had three children called Matilda , Leanared and george. Matilda was born in 1919 in wheatly hill , spennymoor. Hannah died very young i think when Matilda was about 17,and she brought up her two brothers, so if anyone can help i would be gratefrul thank you

If you have her marriage certificate which *should give the name of her father also her age,,,,,,,,,,,,can you not find him/her on the 1901 census ?

I've added much the same information to your other thread Michelle.
Please don't have multiple threads going as you have different people putting time and effort into finding the same information which is REALLY annoying. You haven't got back to anyone yet, either.
