1901 census has Florence Alberta Hurcombe, age 30, married, a servant in the home of Edwin Charles Crowther in Pendleton, Salford, Lancashire. She has daughter Florence Mabel with her, age 8.
Florence Alberta is transcribed with no last name, Florence Mabel is transcribed Florence Mabel Hureanie.
Original clearly shows last name Hurcombe for both.

Margaret, did you look under Harcombe? He is there on Ancestry. If you enter the first names as Harry G T he should be at the top of the page.

MargaretM

MargaretM Report 15 Jan 2009 15:39

Can't find them on the 1891 census. It was taken 5 April so they should be on it as a married couple.

Potty

Potty Report 15 Jan 2009 15:32

Quite right, Anne, never assume!

I think your Harry is on the 1891 census as Harry G T Harcombe - I don't have an Ancestry subscription so cannot look up the transcription and I can't find him on this site's census.

Perhaps somebody could look it up for you, if you don't have Ancestry.
