Hello Carol, The 1901 census (Ancestry) has a Frances RAWLINGS working as 'Housemaid Domestic' in Aldridge, Staffordshire. She's 20, born Leamington. Also an Isabel RANKINS (looks like RAWLINS to me) working as 'Housemaid Domestic' in Leamington Priors. She's 22, born Leamington. Let me know if you would like further information on these records. Best regards, John Kane Sapcote, Leics. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol and Frank" <ckennedy@berkshire.net> To: <ENG-WORCESTER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2005 5:00 PM Subject: [WOR] Any Suggestions Please? > Hello from Massachsuetts, > > Frances Margaret Rawlins was born 1880 in Leamington Spa. > and her sister Isabel Rawlins was born 1879 in Leamington Spa. > > After their father died, their mother remarried the boys were kept at home > and the two girls were sent to: > 1891 Census > County: Worcestershire > Civil Parish: Belbroughton > Eccl.
