Hi

Would anyone be able to look up someone on the 1911 census - I have a membership for Ancestry but they still don't do it yet - so if I could look anything up as a swap that would be great.

I am looking for a family by the surname French, the dad is Thomas (born 1857 in Greenwich), the mum is Mary Ann, children are Elizabeth (born 1877 in the City of London), Esther born 1879 in London, beatrice born 1883 in London and Ada born 1885 in London

Many Thanks

Thanks Shirley

Hi Glitter Baby - I am only on the first daughter at the moment and cannot seem to find a marriage so thought perhaps she may still be with parents in the 1911 Census

They arent living in Hatfield Street in 1911.

Would guess some of the girls would have married before 1911
