Can somebody help? Finally got somewhere with my g-g-mothers family. 1901 Census has her father Harry Lawrenson 35, mother Mary 31, sister Alice 4, herself Mary 2. Anyway i have her parents marriage as September 1892 Prescot Liverpool Harry Lawrenson, Mary Melia. Problem is i cannot match her on any census? from the 1901 census her age is 31 so i am searching using the year 1870?Want to try and follow her own parents etc. Any suggestions?
