    I've been tracing my Great grandmother Lily's family for sometime. She was born in 1894 in Weare,Somerset, to a labourer and his second wife.Her parents where LOT and SARAH COUNSELL, in total there where nineteen children from both marriages. Im finding very hard to find anything about her brothers and sisters, as she was sent to London when she was fourteen and never returned home. Any help would be greatfull.
