I have been trying to find out some further information as to what happened to one of my G Grandfathers 9 sisters, and the only one I've failed to trace thus far.
Sarah E (possibly Ellen) Reid was Born in Portsea, Hampshire in 1859. Her Father, at the time, was a sergeant in the Cheshire Militia Called Isaac & her Mother was called Amelia. The last document I can find her on is the 1871 Lydford Census, aged 11 & Living with the rest of the family in "Barracks." Her father at this time had become a Warden at Dartmoor Prison.... and that's it, no further positive trace.
The only possible clue i might have, is that she may have died in 1877 at Plymouth, but registered as Ellen Sarah Reid. The location & age would be right, as her father had died in 1872, and the family had returned to Plymouth, the original Family location before Isaac had been posted to Portsea. "Find-A-Grave" also has an entry & burial location of this person at Ford park Cemetery, but alas no photo of the gravestone, if one exists.
I was wondering if someone could please try and find any further information on her. Either to confirm the death record & Burial is the person i'm looking for, or if indeed she went on to Marry.
Regards
Stewart
