Good find K! That has to be her although the age is a bit out. Been looking in Dudley...hadn't clicked that in 1901 and 1911 she was in Lichfield :-)

I may have had something about Dinah and her parents in an earlier thread but a "penny-dropping" moment today merits this being its own thread.

I put Dinah into my family tree when I found her parents Andrew and Silvia Homer in the 1861 census

Here for Info:

Name: Dinah Homer
Age: 26
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1835
Relation: Daughter
Father's Name: Andrew Homer
Mother's name: Selvy Homer
Gender: Female
Where born: Dudley, Worcestershire, England
Civil parish: Dudley
County/Island: Worcestershire
Registration district: Dudley
Sub-registration district: Dudley

I couldn't find a christening for her and never again found Dinah in a census. I did find her with variations on the name.

So last week I found a christening for a child Sidonia Homer born 04 January 1834 and christened 05 February 1837. She then promptly disappears. And then the penny dropped....Dana in 1841, Donah in 1851 and 1871 and Dinah in 1861 is Sidonia!

Armed with this I have now found her in 1911 as well..but try as I might I have not found her in 1881, 1891 or 1901. Nor can I find a death for her.

So for info again here are the censuses I have

I am only interested in the missing censuses and a death -assuming of course she didn't marry after 1911 :-)

I have everything else about her family

I just need those extra eyes!!
