	Ivy was born 7/8/1895 West Ham. Her father was William, metal polisher. She married Bertram Crowe (25/3/1892) and they had six children Following Bertram's death in 1935 she married Edward Andrew Camp (1909- 1993) on 13/7/1938. As you can see, I know all about her from her first marriage onwards. However I cannot find her in either the 1901 or 1911 census, and its not as if there were many Ivy Wimhursts. Can you please find what I cannot? Gerry
