Thanks Vera, Yes, that's the one I am thinking I should get the birth certificate for. Hopefully it will give the full name and confirm it is her.

Thankyou Vera. I eventually found the one in Sutton, Surrey and the father's name was John. I found her later on and it gave pob as Lewisham.

I think I'm going to order the cert for the one in Fleggs. I know a fair bit about her now, she has the correct fathers name and worked as a domestic servant (like my gr grandmother was before she married) the only problem is she was born in Caister which is miles away from Carbrooke.

There is only one other born in Norfolk around that time with the right fathers name and he was a police superintendant - surely someone in the family would have remembered that! She was born in Garboldisham (guiltcross reg district) which is closer to Carbrooke than Caister.

Oh I'm not sure which to get now! Any thoughts?

Found this one in 1891...

Liverbird - Those are both her and I have both certs here. Neither give a dob and worse still, the death cert has the wrong age (53) Family knowledge, marriage cert and 1911 census records all agree she would have been 56 when she died.

Could this be her death? maybe if it's right it'll have her dob on it??

Choccy - that one arrived in the post a few days ago - not that one either - the father's name was John. It's the only one in the Wayland Registration dsitrict anywhere near that time (Carbrooke was Wayland and now Breckland I think).

Stuck!

She was definitely from Norfolk.

It is Carbrooke (with an E) - a small village in the Breckland district of Norfolk - although I was always told she was born in Diss, Norfolk!

Harvey Edith Wayland 4b 264

Carbrooke is in Wayland registration district

I thought that Carbrook was in Yorkshire

Oops Carbrooke - Norfolk

Thank you glitter baby - not that one unfortunately, I already have the certificate.

Incidently if anyone would like a certificate for an Edith Harvey born in Norfolk I have three here I don't need and am happy to pass on if it is any use!

Nearest I can find

HARVEY Edith May M Norwich 4b 163

I've been trying to find a birth record for EDITH EVA MAY HARVEY for quite some time now.

1911 census gives her place of birth as CARBROOKE, NORFOLK and her age as 26.

I have her marriage certificate which gives her father as GEORGE HARVEY occupation 'KEEPER'. She was married on 13th August 1910 and her age then was also 26.

I'm sure this should be easy to find but I'm having no luck at all and would appreciate any help!

Thanks in anticipation.
