    Thank you for that. I'm afraid this has completely blown by research. Have been trying to find the family of one Florence Annie Smith, who would have been 3 in 1891. Thought I had found the correct birth details for her, but obviously not, as she was actually living in Gosport, Hampshire in 1891.
    This Florence Annie was aged 1 and still with her parents!
    Back to square one - but thanks for your help.

    PS: Have looked on her marriage certificate and this shows father as
    JUDE SMITH.
    Could anyone kindly look to see if this name can be found on the 1891 Census?

    I have just found JUDE SMITH in 1881 Census - occupation Maltsters Labourer - have also found his marriage in 1885 - Wife's name possibly JANE (YOUNG) - he is the only JUDE SMITH coming up in 1881 - could you possibly see if he is on the 1891?

    Thanks.

    Thanks very much - I think this must be them - all I had to go on was the father's name - I know most of the family on the mother's side were born in Ebbesbourne Wilts so this ties in.

    Just feeling a little confused

    Where does Folrence fit in or Alfred and Mary? I really don't want you to set off on a wrong footing or giving wrong info.

    Jean and Jo, excuse me for butting in...

    Jean, I have just replied to your YOUNG inquiry and noticed this SMITH thread. When I was looking for your YOUNG sisters, I came across the following 1891 household which fits in with both your SMITHs and YOUNGs.

    Have you seen this entry? I'm fairly certain this is Maria YOUNG in 1891 after marriage. With her is her little brother James. The family is living at what looks like Blog [but I could be way off] Farm in Alverstoke Hampshire:

    Name / Age in 1891 / Birthplace / Relationship to head-of-house / Occupation
    Towner, Philip 37 Shabbington, Hampshire / Hantshaving Head Bailiff
    Towner, Maria 36 Ebbesbourne Wake, Wiltshire Wife
    Towner, Philip S 13 Stibbington, Hampshire / Hantshaving Son Agricultural Labourer
    Towner, Albert H 8 Alverstoke, Hampshire / Hantshaving Son
    Young, James 22 Ebbesbourne Wake, Wiltshire Lodger Agricultural Labourer
    Smith, Florence A 3 Salisbury, Wiltshire Visitor

    Source information: RG12/878
    Registration district: Alverstoke
    Sub registration district: Alverstoke
    ED, institution, or vessel: 5
    Folio: 102
    Page: 15

    Regards,
    Trish

    Thank you both for your interest and just to explain the connection.
    Jo, I am afraid Alfred and Mary turned out to be a wrong turn.
    Jude Smith was actually Florence Smith's father.
    Florence was living with her aunt Maria, who was actually Downer (not Towner).
    I have only just discovered the connection with Young is that Maria and her sister Jane (Florence's mother) were both born Young.
    I have now managed to get a lot further back than I had ever thought I would.

    Thanks again.

    JEAN
