	Can you at least have a guess at the year of birth (Dad's year subtract 20 for example) _ iF it's before 1900 look for her in the 1901 census. If not, you'll have to trawl BMD records looking for likely candidates, I think. Linda x

	Hi, It will probably mean searching the birth indexes to find her birth. If she has an unusal name this could be easy. Take into acocunt child bearing ages and start looking for her name in the birth indexes within the area you now she was born. ou can search the indexes for free on Ancestry.)com (ignore bracket) website. Once in the site look for england Births,marriages and deaths and use the 'beta' search 1837-1983. Suzanne
