Title: Cunliffe sisters missing in 1901
Post by: wilcoxon on Wednesday 18 July 18 15:43 BST (UK)
I have 3 sisters from 1851 to 1911 but can`t find them in 1901.
Mary Cunliffe b India c 1829, Harriet / Harriot b India 1831 and Alicia b Wrexham 1845.
They are in London 1871/81/91 but in Wrexham by 1911.  All unmarried.
 I am stumped . ???

Were they nuns?  They could have been in a nunnery or doing mission work that kind of thing.

Have you checked the address they were at in 1891 and 1911 to make sure not there?

1851
Robert H Cunliffe 66 born Chester
Susan E 44 born India

Harriot 19 born India

The bio of Robert Henry Cunliffe only mentions his sons

They were not short a penny or two, so perhaps they were on vacation in Italy or France at the time

hi,     


Not sure about the "surplus" of money.       


The Wrexham accomodation is "multiple occupancy".

The 3 ladies had passed on by 1921 (?) at very senior ages.     


Where did Robert Henry C's money go after he passed on?

Alicia’s estate was valued at some £12,000 in 1916.

They're in the region in 1902 at a family funeral

Not that I can see in 1911 - there's the 3 sisters, a lady's maid, cook and housemaid

I have got all this, but not them.
Thanks but I think it will remain a mystery
