Hello all!

I'm a bit stuck. I'm looking for a birth record for a Sarah L. Reffold, around 1900/1901, probably in Lambeth.

Her parents were Frederick and Louisa Reffold and in the 1901 Census they're in Lambeth with Sarah's older brothers Frederick P and Cecil. But I can't find Sarah's birth anywhere! Can you help?

Many thanks in advance!

Could Sarah be Nora,

There is a baptism for a Nora L Reffold with parents Frederick, a plasterer and mother Louise, living at 41 Brooklands Row,

Ah. I have a subscription at findmypast, and I'm not sure the finances will allow one somewhere else too. But thank you for the tip - now I know what to keep my eyes open for.

Is this a Brickwall or have you solved it?
