Does anyone have access to 1911 census and could please look her up?
Thankyou

I have alot more info. on John WITTON and Edith JONES if anyone is interested

After their marriage they had two children in West Brom... then moved to Newport, S.Wales around 1903, where they had another 10 children ( though not all of them lived)
Some of these children moved back to the Midlands and some stayed in Wales. I am gradually getting more info. on them all with the help of some relatives..
.. still a work in progress!
