I am hoping someone can find out more about Alice Harbach

Alice Harbach Census Event Date: 1891 Age: 7
Relationship to Head of Household: Niece
Birthplace: Wychbold, Worcestershire
Registration District: Winslow Sub-district: Winslow Ecclesiastical Parish: Winslow Civil Parish: Winslow Cum Shipton County: Buckinghamshire

I would really like to know who her parents were and who she was living with in 1891.

I do know that Elizabeth Harbach born in Wychbold, Droitwich, Worcestershire about 1852 was working in the home of Conrad Bojoragon in Winslow, Bucks as a servant in 1871. I don't know if this is significant or not.

Thank you for any help you can give me

Reckon this another lot of Harbachs....Fred in 1881 with Elizabeth mother and she's too old...and in 1891 with wife Elizabeth and children....back to drawing baord! :-(

or maybe not...there is only one birth for an Alice ...so maybe Alice Elizabeth is your Alice
This is Fred and Elizabeth in 1891

Fred Harbach 35
Elizabeth Harbach 32
Fred Harbach 5
Margerate Harbach 3
Ellen Harbach 1
Samuel Harbach 47


Samuel the boarder is the correct age to be Elizabeth's brother (from 1851 census)and therefore Fred's brother...but why would Alice be with her aunt at that age?

Yes "Shirley" that's the only birth I can find...the christening I found is a bit later though! Though Bromsgrove, Dodderhill, Droitwich and Wychbold are all within a stone's throw of each other. So as I said it seems really possible that she is Fred and Elizabeth's daughter though why on earth a sevn year old would seemingly be with her father's sister at the age of seven...and judging from 1901 census this was a permanent arrangement rather than a visit... :-S

Maybe her parents couldn't look after her and her Aunt had no children so they took her in.

Thank you all. This is helpful. Now I wonder if Alice's mother could be this Elizabeth, daughter of Harry and Jane Harbach on my tree. She was still single in March of 1901 but married Alfred Eades later that same year.
