Hello Lorraine, is it just the 2 years married that makes you think the family with Zena is the wrong one?

Is it Mabel Lucy's line that you are following? If so, what else do you know about her?

yes its mabel lucy who i am doing

mabel lucy handley born 1889 [sorry put 1888 in first post
daughter of herbert and sylvia handley got her in all census apart from 1911

got a message from someone saying that zena parents were walter harris and mabel shooter
as you say they married in 1909 which fits in with the 1911 census
