Hi All
My Grandmother Caroline Russell birth we are told 22 June 1897 Walworth London.

I believe that her father was Alfred Joseph Russell 1864-1909 Surrey
Marriage 1d 150
And her Mother Lydia Gregory 1869 -1905 Surrey 1Q 2a 245
I have what I believe is part of this family in the 1891 census and this same parts of this family in 1901 Census.

But cannot find a birth record for Caroline anywhere.
• I cannot find a birth
• She doesn’t appear in the 1891 or 1901 census

She had Sisters Lydia May Russell 1890-1946
Rosina Martha Russell 1891

She also had brothers James abt 1890 and Joseph ?

Cannot find these in any Census.
She Married Walter De rose in 1921
I have been told that sometimes the children were not registered ?????
Could the children have been in an orphanage with no registration ????

Any help appreciated
