	Do you know the area where she was born? And if you have her marriage certificate, what is the name of her father, please? (so I can look in 1901 and 1911 census for her).

Her name is Muriel Burrows, born 1901 (I think), but I cannot find a single reference to her in any of the records accept the marriage ones. She died in 1938, when my father was two years old, and he was separated from most of his family after that. My Dad has had a stroke so cannot communicate, so I cannot ask him for more details. Why is it that she does not appear in the records? She was def born, and spent almost all her life, in this country (the UK). Thanks! Heather
