There was only one Rebecca Lamb born England/Wales between 1900 and 1902 :

Births Sep 1902
Lamb Rebecca Newcastle T. 10b 170

How have you got back to 'your' Rebecca please and what else do you know about her?

I suspect Teresa means that she can't find Rebecca in the 1901 census, so she was born before that - though I could easily be wrong!

Anyway, we can't progress without more info.

PM sent to let Teresa know she has replies.

She tried to post this query several times yesterday, but the GR system wasn't allowing replies to go through.

There's still some sort of fault, because in the general list of posts, it's clear that she has given more info, but it's not showing up when we open the thread.

PM received from Teresa:

Hi, thank-you for messaging me, some-one sent me a PM and then the 1901 census for Rebecca showing parents and siblings, so I am ok with that now. I will be posting some other enquiries later. Regards Teresa.

Hi.
Just a quick thank-you to Maddie, Dea, ArgyllGran and Chris Ho for you help. Non of your messages have gone onto my threads, in fact I have lots quite a few!! This is making it difficult to see what I have already asked for!! I did notice that I was not the only one who had problems the other night though.
Regards Teresa.
