Lee, That's records link is terrible. You don't need to pay to find out what you need to know unless she's on the 1851 census. Is she the one born in 1901? Rose |

You can search the 1901 census for free on Ancestry. You just need to register. Having said that, I don't see her listed there. Rose |

You can also use this site: http://www.1901census.nationalarchives.gov.uk It gives a little more info. like where they were born. I put in West Hartlepool to narrow down the results. Rose |

Magdalene was born in 1870 so I don't think she's the one. Rose |
