Hi, I am looking for Lily Nash born around 1888 in Clapham, Surrey. Unfortunately this is all I know about her. She lodged with my Great, Great Grandmother Eliza Sandals in 1901 but I believe her to be a relative as I have a postcard to Lily from my Great Great Grandmother who signed it Auntie. (Although this may of been an affectionate term and not neccessarily related.) I am interested who she is living with and am hoping for the names of Beeching or Sandals to be with her. Also I have never been able to find Eliza Sandals (born 1854 Lewes, Sussex) on the 1891 census either. Any help would be much appreciated, best wishes, Carol

There is a Lily Nash born Hackney abt 1887 as a visitor with her family on the 1891 census. Could this be her. I don't think Hackney and Clapham are too far apart. Have saved the image. Kath.

Hi Carol, Brixton and Clapham are very close. But Hackney is the other side of London to them both Linda

On FreeBMD I found a Lily Ellen Nash born 1889, Fulham which is close to Clapham isn't it? Thanks Linda for the info. The problem is having so little info, I was hoping for a clue with the other occupants in the households but nothings jumped out at me yet. Thanks again, Carol
