Probably sisters I would say, as families stayed close to each other, often next door or further down the street....

Glad to have helped...
sometimes it's just the right break needed to help you on your way!

I see where you are coming from Tempest......if the family moved to Leicester then this could be Ivy's birth registration

Elouise you might be on to something.....looking at the 1901 census image I see that there is a Lilian McMillan living next door she is listed as sister to Ernest and Mary Jordan. There is this marriage

Marriages Mar 1901

JORDAN Ernest Bernard Leeds 9b 465
McMillan Mary Jane Leeds 9b 465

So could Lilian and Mary Jane be sisters to Elizabeth or could this just be a coincidence?

Margaret - sending off for one of the children's birth certificates will confirm her maiden name. Here's Benjamin's record so you can buy a copy:
