Not seeing Olive May.

Thomas and Alice are living next door to her parents in 1911. Alice is recorded as a worker on that census. I wonder if Olive might be with her grandparents and each family has thought the other has listed her?

Do you have the 1939 register for Thomas and Alice

Nelson Household (6 People)
15 Green Walks , Prestwich M.B., Lancashire, England

FIRST NAME(S) LAST NAME(S) DOB SEX OCCUPATION MARITAL STATUS SCHEDULE SCHEDULE SUB NUMBER
Alice Nelson 11 Dec 1891 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married 263 2
Thomas Nelson 02 Dec 1891 Male Window Cleaner Married 263 1
Clifford Nelson 28 Apr 1921 Male Window Cleaner Single 263 3
Sorry, this record is officially closed. Check if you can open a closed record.
Cathleen T Liberman (Nelson) 16 Aug 1927 Female At School Single 263 5
Ada Dawenbait 02 Aug 1904 Female House Duties Unpaid Single 263 6

Alice has a note by her name to say she is a full time ARP warden

Cathleen has the date 2.9.1945 in the margin by her name - probably the date she registered the change of name to Liberman rather than the actual date. (Q3 1945 Heywood RD shows as Cathleen Y Nelson to Philip L Liberman)

Ada's surname is Davenport
