Whatever happened to Clara Westwood?

[Toban]

 

I'm trying to track down Clara Westwood, born 11 Apr 1856 in Howard's Place, Birmingham; baptised at St. Jude's in B'ham 8 Jun 1856. Her parents were Henry Westwood, cordwainer (1819-1871) and Harriet (née Wild; 1819-1904). Clara is with her family in the 1861 and 1871 censuses at 71 Howard's Place and 103 Lichfield Street, both Birmingham, respectively. After that I lose her....

No further census, marriage or death records seem to match her that I can find, so now I am stumped as to where to look.

Appreciate any help!

Have you checked this marriage out?

Registration Year:   1878
Registration Quarter:   Oct-Nov-Dec
Registration district:   Aston
Inferred County:   Warwickshire
Volume:   6d

The 1878 marriage to a James Foster gives Clara's father as Josiah Westwood occupation Gunstocker, one of the witnesses was also a  Josiah Westwood.  Clara was 20 and abode Holt Street

Possible?

1881
15 Bilston St Wolverhampton
William Lloyde 25 car driver
Clara 24 wife bn Birmingham
William 3
Thomas 2

1891/1901 etc censuses give surname without the 'e' as Lloyd


Marriage

Jan/Feb/Mar 1881
Kidderminster
6c 218
Clara Westwood /William George Lloyd on same page

Thanks to you all,

For some reason I did not consider the Kidderminster marriage. Probably because there was a Clara Westwood born in Kidderminster in 1856 as well, and I assumed that was her marriage. But the census seems to indicate Clara was born Birmingham (are they all consistent in this?) so she may well be the lady I'm looking for...

Hi Jan,

Another one to think about! How can we determine whether this single lady in '91 or Mrs. Lloyd is my Clara?

The 1912 death I believe is another woman altogether, as there is a widowed Clara Westwood around the same age in Birmingham as well, who is not mine, as she was not a Westwood by birth...

  Toban      My  apologies     I've  just  realised   the 1912   death    is   way off   for  a 1856  birth !    I'm  hopeless  at maths  , but  that  error was  plain  daft  !   
 Have  you  checked the  1911  census  ?   maybe    just  using  her  birth  year  and  place  of  birth  and  first  name ?   I know that  may be  a  bit of  a job  ,  but   may work
