Thanks Ken! Although Jane Howard isn't there (she would've been about 3 - 4 years old) You may well have hit on something? I'll have a browse and see what i can come up with?! Thanks again, Gaynor. oops she would've been about 2 years old, not 3 - 4

couldn't find Jane in 1871 but I found this family and thought although its not Jane the parents are the right age and m-in-law is Jane clutching at straws but were only likely Surrey candidates George Baker 52 Mitcham, Surrey, England Father-in-law Croydon Surrey James Baker 17 Croydon, Surrey, England Son Croydon Surrey Jane Baker 51 Croydon, Surrey, England Mother-in-law Croydon Surrey Elizabeth Howard 29 Croydon, Surrey, England Wife Croydon Surrey Elizabeth A Howard 1 month Croydon, Surrey, England Daughter Croydon Surrey John Howard 33 Croydon, Surrey, England Head Croydon Surrey Emily Sears 20 Sydenham, Kent, England Visitor Croydon Surrey address 2 coleshill terrace

Brenda, it's nice to know that some of the street is still standing. All the other streets where my ancestors once lived have all been demolished to make way for new developments :-( Kim - it's a small world isn't it! I wonder if My GGran new some of your rellies?? Julie - Thats great! Thankyou! But if John & Elizabeth were still in Bourne street in 1901, then William & Jane must be there somewhere? Not unless they moved in with Jane's parents when my nan was born in 1903? perhaps they just had a room somewhere before that? Thanks, Gaynor.

my rellies were at 55 Dingwall Road in 1891.....mistranscibed as 'stronvelle' on the 1891..... Kim

Just had a quick look 1891 and 1901 John and Elizabeth are still at Borne st. Julie

I walked past the end of Dingwall Road about half an hour ago. It still has a few old buildings in it, under threat of demolition. I wonder which end no 5 was in 1891?

Gaynor I'm really glad i was able to help. I've had a lot of help from people on this site ,so it was nice to be able to help someone else. If you go to www(.) familysearch (.) org you can access the 1881 census and see John and Elizabeth with all the children. My brother told me that sometimes if a street wasn't complete the census wasn't taken. Julie :0)))

Julie!!! I don't know what to say?? Other than you are an absolute STAR!!! All my life i have known nothing about my Nan & her family, as she sadly died when my Dad was very young. Now thanks to you, i know that 10 bourne street where she was born was infact her Grand Parents house!! I'm so excited!! Thankyou sooo much! all the best, Gaynor xx

Gaynor 1881 Jane is with her parents John age 44 and Elizabeth age 40. All b Croydon and living at 10 Borne st

Wow! Thanks Julie! I think this is probably her. Thanks again, Gaynor. ps I wonder why they aren't showing up in 1901? Can i be really cheeky and ask if you wouldn't mind checking on the 1881 for her?? Many, many thanks, Gaynor.
