Hello
I'm trying to find out where Marjorie Winkless, born 1907 in Warwickshire,was on the 1911 census. She doesn't appear to be at home with her father on the day of the census.
Any information would be great.
Many thanks Sorrilsain

Thank you for looking Marjorie Winkless up for me. I would seem that her father had a track record of farming out his daughters. Was Quarry Street in Warwick or Leamington?

Sorry, missed that bit - it was in Leamington.

Cheers ElizabethHerts - I've now got one more piece to a very confusing family jigsaw.

Sorrilsain, you do realise there were two Marjorie Winkless births registered in Warwickshire in 1907, don't you? There is Marjorie Nellie listed above, birth registered Jul-Sep 1907 Warwick, and Marjorie May birth registered Apr-Jun 1907 Coventry. Is it definitely Marjorie Nellie who you were after? She died in 1930 in Stoke on Trent, whereas Marjorie May married Sidney C R Bland in 1928 in Coventry.

Kiterunner -

Yes - I'm sure this is the right one - although I'm sure I'm related to the other one too! -

Thanks Sorril

One step at a time, like they do on Heir Hunters. You need all the certificates for every event. Even parents are known to have told porkies.

Okey dokey, I've taken heed.
I am sure this is the right Marjorie - I too have already fallen into the trap of assuming and got it terribly wrong.
I know for a fact that Marjorie died in the Stoke on Trent area having spent time at the Loggerheads sanatorium for TB.
