I have started to research my husband's side of the family and am finding it hard as I don't 'know' these people yet! I am looking for an Amelia Lawrence born 1894 in Mile End, London in the 1901 census. She was the daughter of James Lawrence and Martha Lawrence. Why can't I find it?

well I can't see her either ..yet !...Where has your information come from ?...Are you sure the details are right ?.....

1901 could this be her? Amelia Lawrence Age: 8 Estimated birth year: abt 1893 Relation: Granddaughter Gender: Female Where born: Kensington, London, England Civil parish: Hammersmith Ecclesiastical parish: St Simon County/Island: London Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Fulham Sub-registration district: South Hammersmith (including Starch Green) ED, institution, or vessel: 31 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 37 Household Members: Name Age Amelia Baumberger 55 Charles Baumberger 59 Eleanor Baumberger 18 Elizabeth Baumberger 31 Emily Baumberger 13 John Baumberger 29 Amelia Lawrence 8

The details are taken from her birth certificate, so one presumes they are correct! I found the record for Amelia as someone's grandaughter but the surname does not tie in. I feel like I am stuck and don't know where to go next.

Having looked for families in the London area for other GR members I can tell you that there are a number of pages missing from some area`s in the 1901 census. Eileen

Do you know which areas are missing?

James occupation ? mothers maiden name ?

what is martha's maiden name? Jeanette

Martha's maiden name was Cole and her middle name was Elizabeth and James' occupation on Amelia's birth certificate was Boot Laster! I am so grateful for some additional eyes on this one!

what about this one....Could this be a possible mis-transcription for Martha ? I've looked at the image and I'm not sure..could someone else check maybe ? Name: Milner Lawrence Age: 6 Estimated birth year: abt 1895 Relation: Daughter Father's name: James Mother's name: Martha Gender: Female Where born: St George IN The East Civil parish: St George Ecclesiastical parish: St Mary County/Island: London Country: England Albert Lawrence 9 Alice Lawrence 11 James Lawrence 43 Martha Lawrence 45 Martha Lawrence 13 Milner Lawrence 6 Nellie Lawrence 3 William Lawrence 19

ahh..yes James occupation matches !

By jove, I think you've found it! Thank you both so much for your persistence in solving this, what has taken me hours has taken you minutes. Still the more I search, the easier it must become and the more I must learn. Seriously thanks again.

I`m sorry but I can`t remember which area`s were missing. Eileen
