I have traced my GG grandmother, however, she seems to have changed names between the 1891 and the 1901 census! On 1891, she is Elizabeth King. However, she remarried and on 1901 she became Ester E Young, I understand the change in surname, but first name seems a bit strange - could this be possible??? Thanks, Juliana xxxxx

Maybe Elizabeth was her middle name and she just decided to start using her first name after her re-marriage? Lou
