If census was April and she was 7 months, I'd say there is a fair chance this is her birth:

Births Dec 1869 (>99%)
Lloyd Ellen Ludlow 6a 543

(In same reg. district as above census).

I'd have thought this was the most likely to be correct as seems to be soon after her birth:

Thank you freewheel, I hadn't realised that they didn't have to register births until 1875.

thank you for your advice.

All census dates are online - just google........

No penalties until 1875 for not registering births....so may not have beenr egistered

Can anyone tell me the date the 1871 census was taken.

I am trying to find the birth record of my gt grandmother which is proving difficult due to different years of birth being given across the census'. Ellen Lloyd is showing as age 7 months on the 1871 census. She is with her father Richard and mother Sarah in Stoke St Milborough, Shropshire with the rest of the family.

I cannot find her in 1881, or her parents. I have found her brother John Lloyd and step-brother Walter Jones in Diddlebury.

By 1891 she was married to my Gt grandfather and I have her from then on.

She had 2 illigitamate daughters in 1884 and 1886 when she would have been about 14 and 16 years old? They were born in Neenton and Aston Botterell, Shropshire.

Any help finding her in 1881 would be very useful.

These gt grandparents are giving me a headache, both of them give different ages and birth places on the 1891, 1901 and 1991 census'.

Ellen married William Palmer in Aston Botterell in Feb 1887. I have Ellen's death in Wolverhampton in 1943 which gives her age as 78 - making her born in 1865 and not 1870/71? Her husband gives his birthplace as Delbury on the 1891 census (which I am told is Diddlebury) which is where Ellen's brothers were in 1881, perhaps how they met. But he then gives his birthplace as Carfdale in 1901 and 1911 and his age 45 and 50 respectively.

I just cannot pinpoint the birth records and really don't know where to go from here

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated, I would really like to go further back with my tree and the families of this couple.

Thanks in advance
