Occupant of Convent in Deal Kent 1881 Census born Ireland 1868
« on: Sunday 08 May 05 21:35 BST (UK) »
I have a great aunt who I think is listed as a boarder/pupil at a convent in Deal.  I can't find her after 1881 census and wondered if she became a Nun. If she changed her name after becoming a Nun, how would I find her after 1881. She was baptised Ravina Woodruff in Dublin 1868 but listed as Rosina Woodruff, born Ireland 1868 on census. Age and country of birth would fit.  In 1871 she was in Cheriton Kent, father a soldier, I presume it was Barracks.

I also can't find her sister Edith Kathleen Woodruff after 1881, she was born Dover 1874. She was living in Hougham Kent with parents and siblings.Wondering of they both went into a Convent.

Hi Lizziedrip,

No I have not found these two sisters yet but I do have the rest of the family details ie father, mother and brothers.

Can't find marriage or death for either of them.

Any help would be appreciated.
