Hi Folks, NELLIE ALBURY was married in 1901.On the certificate she gave her age as 26. Thus she was born c1875. She and her husband emmigrated to the US in the same year. On the 1910 US census (dated 20th Apri)l, census she gives her age as 34 (b1876), the 1920 census shows her to be 42 (b1878) and on the 1930 census she’s 52 (b1878). In July of 1922 she applies for a passport. This time she gives her birth details – born in Hampshire, 12th August 1877. All this and I still CANNOT FIND HER !!!!!!!!! I’ve tried BMD and findmypast sites, different spellings, but to no avail. So, I feel that only leaves Parish Registers. This is uncharted territory to me. Please can sks advise on my next move ? Yours hopefully, Anthony

Was her maiden name ALBURY, and try different spellings? Could her first name be Ellen or Helen? Try: http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl Try: www.familysearch.org also for Census '81.

I have this happening to me as well right now! I found my GG grandmother on the 1881 census listed as being born in 1866. And I have her marriage cert from 1888 and it also says she was born around 1866 (she's listed as 22 on her marriage cert). However, I cannot find her on familysearch.org (even using the batch numbers) nor freebmd. I look at the 1891 census and she's listed as being 23, so that'd work out to be born in 1867. This works out be the same for the 1901 census. The closest person I can find in the area where I know she was born was born in 1864 or 1873! Quite a spread in years.... I'm wondering if this is a case of "fixing the numbers" as she was actually older than her spouse....and I'm not sure how common that was back in the mid-late 1800's. So, I too, am not sure where to look next.

Anthony You mention the marriage in 1901. I found it in the 2nd qt. What is Nellie's father's name?
