Thanks everyone for your help.

I know the information provided by Mike and Mary is correct. However the suggested entry for Florie Hill in the 1901 Census born in Smethwick and living in West Bromwich is a different Hill family to the one I am looking for. I have found that family in the 1911 census and isn't the same Florrie.

The Florrie Hill I am looking for was definitely born in Aston in 1889 and I can find her in the 1891(Florey Hill as suggested by Jonesey earlier) and 1911 Census but not 1901 althoug I have found her siblings all working as servants or borders in and around Aston.

Thanks once again for all your help.

Regards

Christine

Florrie Hill born Sept 1889 married William Arthur Walker born Tewksbury Gloucestershire 1889- 1977.Married 1908
They had frank Norman walker 1915
Phyliss M 1920.
1911 10,Beales Street aston,I can't see where it says feeble minded as it is blocked out!!

So between feb 1908 - April 1911 2 children and no names its a difficult one

Born in Sept 1889
1891 Census was taken before Sept so she would still only be 1 year old.

Thanks for this but the Florrie Hill I am looking for was born in Aston in September 1889 (sorry I thought that was in my original message) so I think she is different to the one in West Bromwich.

The family was based in Aston in 1891 and 1911 and she married there in 1908.

Thanks for your help.

Grateful for any help in finding Florrie Hill probably in Aston in 1901 Census.

Her parents were John (born Herefordshire) and Elizabeth (born West Bromwich)

I have found her in the 1911 Census where she is boarding with her parents in Aston, with her husband William Walker. At that time she is described as being feeble minded (not sure what that means) and as having 2 children living although neither of these are present on the Census record. Also grateful for any tips on how I could find out who these children were.

Thanks Christine
