Her birthday may be after the census date ( 2nd April ) therefore she would still be 18

Thanks and sorry, think I've found wrong death certificate and forgotten how to count ;-) Don't I feel the idiot :-D Ellen was over 100 when she died though. We have managed to find her on the 1901 census, but no records showing for the 1911 census and we believe she married George Davies in 1915. Thanks Gareth

I should think that this could well be her death?

Do you have her exact date of birth to check?

Thank to all for their help, sorry about the count, but indeed she was over the hundred, a lovely person, who had nothing and asked for nothing, i am very grateful as this branch of my family has been a huge problem, you would think it was a common old name, thanks again everyone, Gareth Davies

Hi, still can't find her for definate, anyone know what records are available between 1901-1915 apart from BMD and census. We know in the 1901 census she was living in Timothy Row, Cwmbach and was married in 1915 and her address was New Street, Aberaman.
