Found my ggrandparents on 1891 census Page 13 Strange, Charles 27 Marylebourne, London Head Paddington Strange, Mary A 23 Marylebone, London Wife Paddington Source information: RG12/2 Registration district: Paddington Sub registration district: St Mary Paddington ED, institution, or vessel: 5a Folio: 11 Then found their children on page 14 Arthur Age 4 b Marylebourne Kate A Age 2 b Marylebourne Florence Age 7mths b Paddington They later had another son Frederick Percival and then in May 1885 my gran Edith May was born I think my ggrandmother remarried and had two more children called Annie and Mary and have found the following Death Charles Strange 1895 Dec qtr Aged 30 Paddington Vol 1a Marriage Mary Ann Strange 1897 qtr Mar to John Michael o'Sullivan Paddington Vol 1a Page 85 Also Birth Mary O'Sullivan Qtr June 1897 Paddington 1a Page 27 Birth Annie o'Sullivan Qtr June 1899 Paddington 1a Page 8 Now I know g-aunt Annie and Mary lived in Edgeware Road and their surname was O'Sullivan sometime in 1920-1935 later Annie married someone younger than herself and went to live in Bournemouth. My problem is I can find none of them on 1901 census anywhere. I have found a death of a Mary Ann O'Sullivan Mar qtr 1909 Dist Stepney but that says age 45 and the 1891 census says age 23 Anyone got any ideas they would be much appreciated Thanks Yvonne

Definately them - have e-mailed you. Really can't thank you enough. Maybe Mary Ann was visiting someone at the time? Thanks again

Mary Ann Sullivan 33 Marylebone, London, England Pauper Paddington London I'll just check the image to see if she's married.... Yes, she's married, occupation - Charing. There are lots of women there, single & married, with very young babies Sam

Several others on same page as MAry Ann in workhouse had small babies - at a guess there were birth complications or baby was poorly so she went in for medical care which the family couldn't otherwise afford.
