Lizzie Myers Daughter Female 1916 5 West Hartlepool, Durham, England - -

On the original the surname does look like Muers but I can see why someone transcribing might think that the U could be a Y. The written surname looks clearer on the address sheet.
It is noted that the Mother of the children is dead.

Hello Erika, their original surname should be Muers but this has obviously been misheard and resulted in Myers, which is why I couldn't find them on 1921 census. I then put surname "M" followed by an asterisk and Myers came up.
Thank you again for your time.

Hello, could someone please take a look at the 1921 census for Georgina Myers born 1912 West Hartlepool, County Durham. I have worked out by hovering that the other occupants are Joseph, Lizzie, Mary J, F W and one other. I would like the address etc. This is all I need for now, no other research necessary, thank you.
