Hi All, Apparently my Gr. grandmother is on the 1891 census. Unfortunately I lost contact with the guy that previously replied...and my message is long gone now. Is there any chance someone could re-check the info for me please. Her name was Laura Lavinia Dawson/Field (she was illegitimate), she was born 1889 in Thakeham, Sussex. Her mother died when she was 6wks old. I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks Ali

Hi Alison I have found a Laura L Dawson, aged 1 living with her Aunt and Uncle (William and Alice Chaplin) in Greatham, Sussex, where she was also born. Is she the one?
