(She is indexed under the surname "Haylor" on Ancestry.) I found this by locating the baptism of Hilda Vera Mauran, on 9 Nov 1890, at St Augustine, Kilburn, daughter of William and Ellen Mauran, of 35 Oxford Road, and then looking up the address in 1891 (which involved me digging up the old National Archives street indexes; I don't know if there is a better alternative.) In 1911, Hilda Vera is living with her uncle Louis Joseph Mauran. Her father, on the other hand, seems to be in a workhouse in East London. Not sure what happened there - the identification may be wrong, but I don't think it is. I would say that the name of the Mauran family is fairly definitely "Mauran". That isn't to say it won't be indexed under all sorts of guises. I haven't yet found where William Mauran was in 1891. Best wishes Paul -- Paul Betteridge, Leafield, Oxfordshire [email protected]
