Christina if that's my Rosina it would either mean that a Suter married a Suter or her husband took her name - did they do that?

Basébé, Butcher, Johnson, Dubber (London) Milford (Devon and Cornwall) Shardlow, Hague, Holmes, Capenhurst (Derbyshire) Smith, Jennnings, Keylock, Bullock (Gloucestershire)

If Rosina gave the details to the enumerator might she have made him up, to save face?

Have you got Minnie's birth cert?

Does it give Joseph Suter as father?

All those details, both 1881 and 1891, are right for Rosina but I've just been looking for Joseph S's death and Joseph W and Rosina's marriage between 1871 and 1881 and can't find either

Christina - do you mean that she had Minnie out of wedlock and she invented Joseph as a 'pretend' husband?

I'll have to wait for the arrival of Minnie's birth certificate to try that theory out. Interesting possibility.

Thanks everyone - now I'm really intrigued. I can't wait for those certificates to arrive so that I know who I'm really looking for on the earlier censuses

I see 3 people have Rosina Wright born Portsmouth 1842 in their trees. If all else fails I'll see if they can shed any light.

Don't know of a Rosina though!
