Simple answer no - the last available census in 1901 . This looks like her first marriage but you would have to send for the cert to find out if she definatly married Walter as you seem unsure Name: Edith Leigh Year of Registration: 1904 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep District: Leicester (1837-1974) County: Leicestershire Volume: 7a Page: 537 (click to see others on page) Walter Thomas Brandon 1904 Jul-Aug-Sep Leicester (1837-1974) Leicestershire Edith Leigh 1904 Jul-Aug-Sep Leicester (1837-1974) Leicestershire Lily Pykett 1904 Jul-Aug-Sep Leicester (1837-1974) Leicestershire William Henry Thompson 1904 Jul-Aug-Sep Leicester (1837-1974) Leicestershire As for her possible second marriage - can you not narrow down the time scale ?.....Then someone might be able to help. All anyone can do is trawl through the BMD index - which as they are free to search you can do yourself. It might take a while without an idea of when or where. Esta.

I have an Edith Leigh b. 1880, Leicester may have married Walter Branston (can't find his name but could be Walter Brandon). Edith then may have eloped with 'Lodger' Leonard Sewell and married him!!! Is it possible to look up census's for them? Thank you Sue
