Hi , I'm trying to find any info on Elizabeth Brewer who married a William Franklin ( many years her senior in c1900 in Bristol ) They feature in the 1901 census as living in the Camden/ St.Pancras area of London with William working as a railway porter at St Pancras. The only relation my mum can remember would be an Annie, sister to Elizabeth, who they visited in the Bristol /Somerset area. Elizabeth had a daughter who was 4 in the 1901 census called Maude Mary who she may have been sent away to have as she was not married ( I think ) at the time. We think Elizabeth may have been in service with a well to do family but wether that was in the somerset area or further afield we do not know. Anyone recognise any details, this would be my great grandmother.
