Hi All,
I have tried in vain to trace what happened to Mary Hannah Holdsworth, born March quarter 1870, to parents Betsey and Charles Henry Holdsworth, in Bradford.
She appears on the 1871 and the 1881 census living in Manningham Bradford Yorkshire and then she disappears altogether. I can't find a marriage or a death listing for her.
Betsey her Mother, died aged 34 of Ovarian Turnaround Exhaustion in 1886 and her brothers Thomas Henry (my Gt Grandfather) and Joseph William are listed with their Father in the 1891 census, lodging with Harriet Wade nee Pemberton, who he later married. Mary Hannah would have been 21 by then and so it would be understandable that she wouldn't be there - but where is she? She's such a mystery, because she was 5 years older than her brothers, born when her Mother was just 18! Then a 5 year gap - feels like there must be a story here!
I have spoken to every living relative who knew Tom and Joe, her brothers, but not one person knew that there was ever a Mary Hannah!
Could some kind person check for me to see if there's something I've missed. I will be in England in August and will check the grave yards, but it would be good to have more of an idea to go on if possible.
Kind regards,
Jill

Hi Jen,
The 1889 marriage in Keighley, is definitely worth pursuing! I just checked my cousin's tree on Ancestry, as she has the details from certificates document and it seems that Mary Hannah's Mother was born in Keighley and so it's possible that she would have relatives and friends there.
My cousin and I have contemplated the other options before and although we're certainly not ruling them out altogether, there is no real evidence of a Wilson, Brook, Grandage or a Mortimer fit! I haven't come across a Keighley match before though. Do you have any further details for me to follow up on. I have access to Ancestry, but as I am in Australia, I have very little other resources.
Cheers,
Jill

Hi Jill
Slightly off topic, but do you think the cause of death of Betsey would be
1.Ovarian Tumour
2.Exhaustion.

it needs a person with a brain to do this!
No it was just that I tried to find out what ovarian turnaround could be and couldn't find anything, then as I have a lot of female ancestors who seemed to die around the 1880s to 1900s with ovarian tumour, I just thought, perhaps that was it.
I can't believe there was an epidemic of ovarian tumours, I wonder if sometimes it was misdiagnosed at that time.
