In the 1891 census as Winifred Wilkins aged 11 months, born in Bretford, Warwickshire, and living with her parents (John F and Kate), and two brothers (Herbert I and Leonard W) in 3 rooms in Brandon and Bretford, Warwickshire.
The family appears to have split up before the next census with her father living in Brinklow, Warwickshire and her mother living with her married sister Mary New and family in Witley, Surrey. Her mother may have been ill as she died soon after the census.
I cannot locate her in the 1901 or 1911 census, but her mother died in 1902 in Rugby.
