I am looking for Sarah Griffin in London. Found on the 1881 census and 1901 census but can't see her for looking anywhere else. Could someone please look at the original 1901 census and tell me that Kate is definitely her daughter rather than a Grandaughter. If anyone has the spare time to find her on the other censuses I would be very grateful. Many thanks Sue

Hi Glitterbabe, I saw that one but not sure that it is - I have children John c1864, Joseph c1867, Alice c1871and Emily c1874 so far. Also as far as I know there is only a year's difference in age between her and her husband. In 1901 she is with Alice, Frank, Joseph and Kate - so we have acquired Frank and Kate? In 1881 with husband, Alice, Emily, Joseph and a Reynolds and a Blackwell. So looking for 1861, 1871 and 1891 Sue

1901.............. Sarah Griffin 67 widow, Head Frank Griffin 37 widower, son Joseph Griffin 34 married, son Alice Griffin 29 single, daughter Kate Griffin 13 single, daughter Nature would determine that Kate wasn't Sarah's daughter............but whose daughter she was is a matter for conjecture..........

Could this be Kate in 1891? Father using his 'Sunday best' name!! Name: Kate Griffin Age: 3 Estimated birth year: abt 1888 Relation: Daughter Father's name: Francis Mother's name: Betsy Gender: Female Where born: Soho, London, England Civil parish: St Giles North Ecclesiastical parish: St Giles County/Island: London Country: England Registration district: St Giles Sub-registration district: St Giles, North ED, institution, or vessel: 4 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Betsy Griffin 27 Francis Griffin 29 Kate Griffin 3 It's logical for Kate to be Frank's daughter.......he's the only 'child' on 1901 who has been married........ You'd need to verify, of course. Reg
