Ive just been looking for her Di.
I think you are right with the census, I hadnt seen the 1851 mind. The 1861 it looks like Myra is 10 though? So that would be right.

I think this might be the marriages though,

That looks great, Jo!

You're right, Jo, it is 10 in the '61. What you reckon, good enough to enter on BCC?

It looks right to me Di.

There are a couple of births of Mira/Myra I will check them out in a little while and see if we can rule them out.
Jo

OK

Ive been looking.

1. Louisa Ellen Myra Smith
England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975

parents: Jarvis Smith, Louisa Smith

record title: England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975

I can see Jarvis on the 1861 census.
So not the one we looked at.
Mira Ann Smith 1849

1. Myra Anne Smith
England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
residence: Wolverhampton, Stafford, England

I think this one is with parents John and Ann in Tunstall 1861. So not that one.
