Member Since: August 2007 Posts: 460 Send Message	I have been trying to find this lady in the 1921 census to no avail, she died in 1922 in November she died 11 Bruce Grove Tottenham Age 43, the informant was her mother Eliza Dunham 3 Crosby Terrace Long Lane East Finchley, she had two children one aged 8 and one aged 11(I think the children would not be on the census.) If anybody could give me an idea for what I should be looking for, I am willing to pay for the recordThanks Sheila

	Have you searched for the address? The children should be on the census - no reason for them not to be. What were their names? Where was Florence born?

Member Since: August 2007 Posts: 460 Send Message	Yes I tried the address but not individual houses, children were Marjorie May Adams 1910 and Kenneth Adams born 1913 Florence never got married. She was born in Tottenham Hope this helps. Sheila

	In 1911, Florence was calling herself ‘Adams’

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,496 Send Message	I didn't say they got married, just reporting the census result. 1921 search result - could Florence be with her Mother. A search gives Eliza Dunham in Finchley plus 2 first names only and 4 "others" at the same address First name(s) Last name Birth year Birth place Parish Registration district County Eliza Dunham 1855 Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Finchley Barnet Middlesex 1921 Census Of England & Wales transcript Eliza, Thomas, Ethel and 4 others are on this record You can check FMP yourself and pay to see the full results (as would FMP members)

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,496 Send Message	Just wondering, if she died young- ish, whether she might have been in hospital or an institution and recorded only under initials, if they still did that on 1921 census. Both Marjorie and Kenneth's births were registered as Adams with mmn Dunham
Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 25,011 Send Message	ArgyllGran	Report	27 Jul 2022 18:57
	Looking at Greyghost's post above re possible 1921 for Eliza Dunham - By 1901 Florrie had siblings Albert E 20, James 18, Gilbert 16, Elsie 14, Violet 13, Charles 12, Sidney 11, Edgar 5, and Doris 2. No sign of a Thomas or Ethel, even after 1901.

	If listed with initials only, this is the only one which might fit: F D 1879 Not Known Ilford Romford Essex But still, Marjorie and Kenneth should be somewhere.

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,496 Send Message	Could have a gaggle of grandchildren with her or in laws ;-) Florence could be living with someone else by 1921 if William had died in which case Florence and the children could be shown under his surname.
