trying to find out about

George H Towner & wife Elizabeth

they were both born in 1861.

elizabeth was born Hool, sussex.
George H was born East towne, sussux.

I think george was a general labourer in battersea in 1901 but i dont have the full census details.

george could be George Herbert TOWNER who married elizabeth in dec qtr 1895 EDMONTON district (elizabeth is either Elizabeth Mary A Beales or Elizabeth Eliza Evans)

i believe they had a child Violet with them in 1901 of a different surname - but i do not know what relation she is to them.

can someone please look up the 1901 & 1891 census for these people please?

thanks so much
