Gertrude May Clowes disappears!
« on: Wednesday 01 April 15 15:59 BST (UK) »
Hello again :)

After a successful conclusion to my request yesterday with tying up loose ends on my tree, I've another  ::)
I also have a request for a Rutland PR look up within this branch if anyone can help with that http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=717057.0

Gertrude May Clowes born Q3 1889 Oswestry, Shropshire  6a 6983
Baptised West Felton, Shropshire 9th June 1889 (Have copy of Parish Record)

Father :Anson Clowes born Onecote, Staffs 1855 - died Leek, Staffs 1927

Mother :Mary Ann Gorle born Powick, Worcestershire  1861 - died Oswestry,Shropshire (Q4) 1889

After her mother dies she goes to live with Anson's sister (Elizabath Sally aka Lally) and is shown on the 1891 census in Oldham, Lancs as Adopted child. ( piece:3306 folio:7 page no:8 )

I totally loose her after this! I can't find her in 1901 or 1911 and I can't find a death either.
She does not stay with her auntie Elizabeth ( I can track her until she dies) nor does she go back to her father and his new wife despite her siblings and a new child being with them!

So please can anyone please find her or her death? I'd love to see a conclusion for her as I know she is not acknowledged in other people's research.

Thanks  :)

Could she have married?  I see a marriage in Bolton in 1908...My geography is non-existent so maybe I have the wrong place   ???

You may have already checked for this but if Aunt Elizabeth was married Gertrude might have started using her Aunt's surname. Just a thought.

The Montreal one could be good - still need to account for her 1901 & 1911
