sorry, I have even searched on occupation, with dob but no name and nothing coming up.

You are not alone, I can't find my own grandfather either in 1911, even though he married 1912 and lived till 1970

well you can see that Constance was actually Constance Gibson Gill and must have been born before the parent's marriage:

Births Jun 1908

Gill Constance Mabel G Sculcoates 9d 279

she is with her grandmother in 1911 (as above) but no sign of parents

I know they drive you mad.

You say Constance Beckett was born 1909 have you got the cert for an address?

The only ones I can see are these 2:

Births Jun 1909

Beckett Constance Maud Fareham 2b 579
Beckett Constance Ruth Buckingham 3a 1068

neither of which I believe are yours
