I cannot find Elizabeth in 1901.

Elizabeth was born Elizabeth Hobday 1864 in Brighton Sussex (I see her on 1871 and 1881 records). She married Albert Bridger in 1883 in Steyning Sussex, and they had a daughter, Frances, in 1890 (I have the 1891 record)

I have Albert in 1901( RG13/928 F67 P24 (54 Round Hill Crescent) Furniture Packer) and also Frances (RG13/876 F7 P5 (Netherfield Road)) but cannot find Elizabeth anywhere. Elizabeth died in 1908 in Brighton so she is somewhere in 1901!!

Any help locating her in 1901 greatly appreciated

Thanks Gail

Yes wondered about that one

Sometimes employers did not like their servants to be married

Researching:
PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England.

Oh I didn't think of that - disregarded due to marital status

Thanks very much for your help - greatly appreciated
