Can you give a bit more info? For example, when was your great gran born and where? Have you found her in any census (assuming she was born by the 1911 census)?

[larmet1969]

wisbech is were the births occured. in the 1911 census she is living with a george johnson alice johnson and her husband of less than a year sydney larmet

For the benefit of others this is the 1911 census reference:

It's just possible that John Robert may have died in 1900 and Alice remarried

Deaths:
Duff John Robert Mar qtr 1900 Wisbech vol 3b page 466

Marriages:
Duff Alice Sep qtr 1900 Wisbech vol 3b page 1231
On the same page are George Samuel Pratt and George Johnson

I am assuming you have the marriage certificate for Alice and John Robert? Was her father's name Henry on the certificate?

If that's her in 1891 her details seem to match a Louisa Johnson in the 1901 census married to a George Johnson (see#5)

19 Russell Street, Isle of Ely, Wisbech

Johnson George 25 Deal Porter b.Walsoten(?) Norfolk
Johnson Alice 28 b.Wisbech

If this is Alice's remarriage it would explain why she can't be found on a census with Robert John

Now to find Louisa in 1901

[notanotherminer]

I have her. In 1901 Louisa is living with her grandmother Emma Addison

Address same as 1891
Addison Emma widow 62
Addison Emma 33
Addison John 31
Addison William 27
Duff Louisa Grandaughter 4
