I wondered if anyone could give me any information on my grandmother Agnes Elizabeth Horsman, her maiden name was Paisley. She married my grandfather Kenneth Horsman and had 4 children David, Keith, Brian, and Adrian. Unfortunatly she passed away 18years ago from lung cancer and Kenneth died 13 years ago. I know she liked to be called "Betty" but thats all i know about her. If anyone has any information please. Thankyou Laura

If you get her marriage certificate you will find her father's name, which would get you back to the census records.

Try the Government Records Office... GRO site

Good job Wayne, His birth date was way out. It's one thing getting the year wrong but another the wrong date and month. Seems way out to have been registered late.
