Disappearance of Agnes Morton
« on: Tuesday 24 November 09 15:29 GMT (UK) »
Hi All

Agnes Morton was born at Commonside in 1861 she was the illegitimate daughter of Betty Morton, she was 2 months old on the 1861 census.

In1871 she was 10 yrs old and living at Todshawhaugh Cottages Roberton with her mother Elizabeth Grandmother Agnes, aunt bella and brother David (he was Foster also Illegitimate).

She then disappears no trace of a marriage or death and no trace on censuses.
Where has she gone ???

Thanks Lesley
