Hi,
Im looking for my Great Great Great Grandmother pre 1891. I have found her on the 1891 Census married to my G' G' G' Grandfather, and I have their marriage record (Vol 6A P700 Alice STEED and William Morris in 1881, Ledbury, Herefordshire)

However I cant find her on the 1881 as a Morris or a Steed or in the 1871, or 1861 as a Steed. On the 1891 Census her place of birth is Malvern Worcestershire.

Any ideas or help would be great, Thanks!

Have you got a child's birth certificate, has she been married before, as quite old for first marriage?

Probably just a little white lie as she was older than William?
