Hi. I am researching mum's family and we are trying to find out what happened to her aunt or great aunt, I am confused! Her name was Olive Lucas nee Bainbridge b.1902. After travelling around the world Olive was at 51 Sandling Avenue Bristol in 1952. She had just returned from the USA so it may have been a temporary home. In 1937 there was a GE Lucas living at 27 Sandling Avenue but that could just be a coincidence. I can't find Olive after 1952 and would love to know if anyone can help.
Thanks

Hi
The 1939 register shows an Emily M Lucas Y0B 1892 and a Hannah Soper YOB 1859 in Bristol CB with 2 more people who are officially closed.

Hi. Thank you, that gives me more to go on, I will try and find out about this part of the family and see if I can join them up. I appreciate your help

Greetings.
If you have a subscription to Ancestry they have Gloucestershire electoral rolls up to 1974.

(There are several possibles for Olive Lucas, but I don't have a sub so I can't check them for street addresses)

Hi Philip. Thanks you, I do have a sub but hadn't come across this bit of Ancestry before. I am now going to make a start on all the Olive Lucas possibles! - thank you so much.

You are most welcome.
Do let us know if you push the sightings forward as it would help narrow down a date of death (I had a quick look on FreeBMD but couldn't see an obvious candidate)

I will, mum and i have been trying to sort this one out for years!

Hi Philip, no luck on Olive, perhaps she was just there on her way back from travelling but lots on the other Lucas's you found for me. Emily M is a married name so if I find her husband then I find the person that Olive remained in contact with. It might not be a 100% result but I am so much further on than I have been - thank you

Hi. Yes, that's them. As a family they travelled to America and had one daughter who is still alive so I don't want to pry. Olive's husband later established another relationship and seemed to be happy and settled but we can't find out what happened to Olive and mum would love to find out where she died and where she is buried. The last information I have about her is in 1952 when she gave the Sandling Avenue address on shipping documents from USA. After that she disappears.

I see her daughter came over with her in 1952, have you traced her returning to the USA

I’ve tried but can’t find any trace of her
