I'm trying to find my GG grandmother's daughter in the Birth index her name was Dorothy Thomas born abt 1900 in Abram, Lancashire. In the 1901 census her name is down as Dauthey (I'm asuming it was mis spelt) Would Abram come under Lancashire Manchester or any thing else! Thanks Lisa

be quite careful when looking back for these - it looks as though only the later children may have been Shems Shem Thomas 1899 Apr-May-Jun Liverpool (1837-1924) Lancashire Cassandra Winson 1899 Apr-May-Jun Liverpool (1837-1924) Lancashire
