Hello Pauline, Thanks for reply. Yes I have them her on 1901 (married), 1891 and 1881. The trouble is she is with a grandfather and grandmother on 1881. The problem is this : on 1881 there also shows another child (since chased and not a sibling, probably a cousin) and then a lodger. This lodger is then shown on the 1891 living with her next door to the grandfather and put down as 'father'. The same name is put down on her marriage certificate. However, although I've since found that 'lodger' could also be a relative, this man is the same age as the grandfather, and when I searched for a certificate with that name as the father, I got only one certificate that wasnt correct. I was advised by the registry office that that was the only one with that father's name and it was from a family I rechecked on the 1881 Census. You can see my problem. Helen
