Member Since: January 2009 Posts: 99 Send Message	I'm trying to find some details about Thomas who was 1 on the 1891 census, but was missing on the 1901 census. He was my grandmother's younger brother and she used to talk about her brothers but never mentioned him, so I presume he died but I can't find any sign of his death anywhere. He lived in Oakhanger, Nr Alton, Hampshire.

	'Thomas' is described as a daughter on the census and looking at the image I think it should be Florence! Possible birth?
