Just got the certificate it's her. My great grandfather must of come over from Ireland as he's the informant. I should have known he'd get the age wrong as, he got his daughter's age wrong on her death certificate too.

Thanks everybody. I don't think I would have solved this with out your help.

So got 1921 census and she is living with them in 12 Rifle Street Eltham, which was part of a camp set up to house munitions workers. None of them are working but Selina's husband Ernest is in the army. I'll have to keep digging I think. Thanks for all the help.

Thanks for the advice just checked and it's not her who died in 1923. Oh well one crossed off the list, anyhow.

That's what I'm thinking I'll have to do. Just wanted to double check I was ordering the correct certificate, as not sure where or who she was living with, after everyone flew the nest.

Thanks I must have missed he was a widower on the 1915 passenger list when I had a look at it last night.

As for the census' it all seems to fit, the only thing is why has he put down he's naturalized in 1918 but the names and the ages are too perfect to be anybody else.

CityHall in Ireland annoyingly enough, they call themselves McAlindon, Mcalinden, McLinden and McLindon at different times. So I've been searching under every variation I can think of but everything I've found so far in the US has been under McLindon.

Thanks everyone for all your help. I've already learned a lot and you've given me a lot of leads to follow. All I knew before Margaret was in Ireland in 1911 census and died in 1922 after the birth of their third, with Hugh taking them back to Ireland, where he had the support network of his extended family.
