Minnie was born in 1881. Nottingham, she is the granddaughter of John and Harriot Handley. I know who there children were but i don't know who her mother was.(minnie) I am finding it very difficult to trace her. she doesn't show up anywhere.

I note on the 1881 census there is a second grand daughter Arabella aged 1....... do you think she could be Minnie's sister?

In the 1891 census it would appear that Arabella is living with a family named OLDERSHAW & carrying this name as a middle name.......could their name really be OLDERSHAW?

Births Mar 1880
Oldershaw Arabella Nottingham 7b 361

Deaths Sep 1900
Handley Arabella Oldershaw 20 Nottingham 7b 16


Could this be the birth of your Minnie:

Births Mar 1876
Handley Minnie Bingham 7b 412
