I think you'll need Victorias birth certificate to establish her parents full names


Jax is there anything on the 1911 that looks promising?

There is also a Olga born 1916 but no death for the 1911 one??? edit late entry

There is a death for a 3 yr old Victoria in 1917 but no birth very strange

I think the 1916 one was a late registration for the 1911 birth
