Would anyone like a real humdinger of a challenge?
I am looking for Tabitha Eliza Morris born oct qtr 1884 in Knighton, Radnorshire.
On 1901 she is a servant in the home of Anne Morgan in Builth; RG13 piece 5165 folio 39 page 28.
I've looked under all Tabithas/Tab/Tob/Tub/Sab etc. All Morris/Marris to no avail :0(((
If anyone has any other ideas, or wants to see if they can find her I would be extremely grateful!!

She maybe under the name Eliza or just mistranscribed, there are a few Morris children born Knighton, Rad living with grandparents in 1891 maybe she's one of them, as you know her birth details it may be wise to send for her BC.

Regards
Carrie

Thanks you two.
I am waiting on her birth and marriage cert...but am too impatient and want to find her before they arrive.
I hate being beaten...lol!!
I've looked at all the Morris children in Radnorshire but they all turn up in 1901 so rule Tabitha out.
I have looked under Eliza also and checked all Morris children born 1884 plus/minus a few years.

I know I should wait untill Saturday...but it ages away :0)))

Thanks Julie,
I've trawled for 4 days now with her....you'd think a Tabitha would be easy...even mistranscribed!!!
And why do I always want certs when WDYTYA starts on tv :0((((
