Ive had quite a breakthrough today. for weeks ive been trying to trace the records for what i believed was a second great aunt Fanny Walker born abt 1902. she shows up in the 1911 census records with Thomas Walker(Father) Mary Walker(Mother) Eva Walker(sister) and her brothers Percy, Fredrick, Norman, and Albert. up until today ive found no birth or death records on her.

Out of frustration i took a closer look at the 1911 census and noticed something unusual. in the box for her age (9) it was placed in the box for the age of a male member.

Fortunately since i have recently had some work done on my tree by other members of the forum, ive noticed them using GRO indexes and have recently signed up for a GRO account.

Knowing that the mother Mary Walker's maiden name was Sandles i did a GRO index search using DOB 1902, Walker as the family name, Sex as male and Sandles as the mother's maiden name.

I was quiet supprised when the search came back as a match, there was my Fanny Walker who was in fact indeed a male and called something Quite different. Turns out the relative was actualy Stanley Thomas Walker born 1902 in Chipping Norton. once i added the correct information on my tree in ancestry his birth and death records flew up.

Dont know what happened with that census but at least i put an amendment on ancestry's record stating that Fanny Walker is Stanley Walker! lol
