Not very helpful.

How sure are you of her birth year??

There are five on the 1901 Census (and the same on the 1891 Census). NONE say born in Whitehaven, and I don't know that part of the UK.


The first one (Lamplugh) does say it is in the Whitehaven registration district BUT she is a niece!


Here they are, maybe you know more about the family!!

1901 Census

Jane Casson abt 1888 Ennerdale, Cumberland, England Niece Lamplugh Cumberland <<<<<<< This is in Whitehaven district


Jane E Casson William,
Elizabeth abt 1884 Carlisle, Cumberland, England Daughter Botchergate Cumberland


Mary Jane Casson abt 1885 Carlisle, Cumberland, England Granddaughter Botchergate Cumberland


Mary Jane Casson John abt 1883 Allerby, Cumberland, England Daughter Dovenby Cumberland


Sarah Jane Casson abt 1883 Cockermouth, Cumberland, England Servant Penrith Northumberland

Just out of interest, here is that first one (the niece) on the 1891, as Granddaughter ............... but there is a daughter of the right age to be her mother!!!

Hi

I just realised that "not very helpful" at the start of my message sounded as though I was commenting on what you had put in your header!

Not so ...... I was referring to what I had found, which is/was not very helpful!!


If you got that birth from the BMD, then Whitehaven was the registration centre for the district, and she could have been born in any one of a number of villages.

SO that child born Ennerdale without parents and living with her grandmother could be the one. Ellinor could be her mother, or another daughter of the family.

I think the only way you can know which one of the 5 Jane Cassons that showed up on the two censuses is yours, is to order the birth certificate. That will tell you the mother's name, and the father's of course if mom was married. The cert will cost £7.



I'm in Vancouver, BC ............ originally from near Manchester.

Are you looking for a Jane or Janet? The reference you quote is for a Janet.
