You're welcome Valerie.

If you can't find someone, try searching just their first name only, with perhaps a place of birth.
I searched
Bessie....born Ware.... and looked through the 'possibles' and noticed this 1901 person was with an Alfred, ...so was worth checking.

Looking for 'not -right-looking surnames' often helps too as it possibly indicates a mistranscription.
