deb,


I think our ancestors sometimes didn't know where they were born



or else they misunderstood a question that asked "Where are you from" as meaning the last place they lived!


OR



they just wanted to make life difficult for us!

That looks good.


I found a Sarah Ann Good, b. ca 1868, Draycote, Warwickshire, working as Cook in Chelsea on the 1891 Census

........... which puts her into Middlesex!

May be it is just a coincidence, or they are cousins


She was born in Warwickshire, and Charles was born in Middlesex, if we are to believe the censuses!!
