I have tried just typing her name in to google, i have tried Lambeth records, message boards,1837 and more. Not tried 1901 census as of yet as they wont accept my card so have got to get viewing card! She was born in 1895.

I think her father was william, her mothers name wasnt on the birth cert, i would love to find out who she was as it was adream of my nans (winifreds daughter) to find out about her family. Sadly she passed away in april and never achieved this so i am trying on her behalf.

So how old was Winifred at death perhaps we can find out from that. she could have been illegitimate andregistered under a different surname. Kim

She was aged 66 when she died, it doesnt even give her occupation on the death cert, it gives her husbands ocupation, clerical officer H.M.S.O.
