How did you rule out the one jax posted (before I got a chance ;) )?

It seems to fit in all respects.

She may well have adopted a middle name as an adult! In the early 1900s, a lot of women did adjust their names to what they thought was something more modern.

Maybe if you told us her parents' names ... the instructions do say to give *all* the info you have ... married in 1904, she might well have been born before th emarriage under the mother's surname, for example.

Looking for the birth of Ethel Violet Lingwood sometime after 1885. She got married in1904 and I have cross referenced the details so I know that is her correct name. Her parents married in December 1885 (in Staines, Middlesex) and I have found all her other sisters. I know she exists but just cannot find her birth details. I even looked prior to her parents' marriage in1885 (well,you never know!) but couldn't find her.

Her birth would probably have been registered in either Staines (Registration District Windsor at that time) or Edmonton. Two of her sisters were registered in Windsor but the others in Edmonton.

I have looked on BMD but cannot find her.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Pam
