Find Ancestors

Hi, I am looking for two sisters Hannah Dobson born 1900 and Ellen Dobson born 1898 both born in Gateshead parents were William Wheatley Dobson about 1877 and Isabella Hedley about 1878 both also born in Gateshead - the sisters seemed to have vanished after the 1901 census - cannot find a marriage or a death - can anybody help. I am recovering from an operation and cannot stay on PC for long, if you can help, please do not think I am ignoring you if I am cannot reply straight away - thank you - Gillian Jennifer xx

So the two girl's are not with them in 1911-very interesting xx

Cant see Hannah being born 1890 that would make her parents only 14 and 12 when she was born ???

Thank you very much to all who looked for me,

Well spotted Shirley! It most definitely says 11 on the census form, but wonder if it was a mistake and should be 11 months?

marriages Sep 1896
Dobson William Gateshead 10a 1281
Hedley Isabella Gateshead 10a 1281

Births Dec 1900
Dobson Hannah Gateshead 10a 941

A possible for Hannah if she was indeed born 1900 rather than 1890!!
