My g gran was Kate Augusta Hogg according to the 1881 census she was born in Lambeth in 1874. Her 'husband' (cant find a record of the marriage) was at home in 1891, but I cant find Kate anywhere. I love to know where and what these people were doing and I am frustrated I cant find her.......any help would be much appreciated......the census ref for 1881 is RG11/600 Folio 16 page 34 Fuzzy x

What was her married name? Jennifer

Fuzzy, Where's her 'husband'? Need a name. I can't find Kate as a Hogg.

Thanks Kelly, I have that I want to find Kate Hi Jennifer her married name is McGill I think there may be a space on Ancestry so that it is Mc Gill

Thanks Kelly have that too, really just want to see what Kate is doing, Elizabeth her husband Alfred McGill was still at home in 1891 so she was still a Hogg in 1891, very elusive girl this Kate!! Fuzzy x

I can't find her as Hogg or Mcgill in 1901 either. Only tried the Lambeth births, though. Did she stay in England?

Just added that in Elaine, clever you working out the space!!! It took me an age to find them a few months back, now I try all sorts when looking on Ancestry!! I know it is not important for me to find Kate in 1891, but I just want to know where she was am so curious and I think it is odd when her husband is still at home and she not with her family. Thought she may be a servant somewhere, but I cant find her at all!! Fuzzy x

I have had no luck in finding her for you. No help to you, but it is just possible, if she was in service at the time, she may have been listed under a different name. It was not unknown for some employers to call a succession of servants by one name, it saved them the bother of having to remember names, particularly in larger households with a rapid turnover of staff.

Hi Jennifer, thanks so much for taking the time out to help look, and that is very interesting info you gave me about servants. I didn't know this and it is an explaination as to why she cannot be found. Fuzzy x
