Thanks so much, KR, for your timely reply. I do realise that there are no census between the births - a mis-speak (type?!) on my part.
I only need British records so presume Ancestry will be best then? If so, I will subscribe for a trial and put it on my Christmas list!
Since Annie worked for Rowntree, maybe there will be records/dates? Knowing when she left may be useful....? I shall have to learn more about the poor courts. The lead you found on Eliza sounds wonderful but as you say, it may be uncorroborated.
My mother is Scottish and I have had lots of success tracing two branches quite a ways back (to 1300's!). I can't take all the credit as one line is from the Shetlands so there are some great trees I was able to join. Another Scotland line of mine is a prominent surname it's own tartan, clan and National Trust House - love this hobby!
Cheers!
