Hi

BMD information can be found here   www.freebmd.org.uk and also https://familysearch.org/search

Once you find who the other 2 girls married you can use freebmd to search for children born to the marriage

Have you looked them up on the 1911 census?  You will need to first establish who Eliza and Ann married and whether it was before 1911 and also whether the Durham marriage was before 1911

You can also use the 1939 register to establish their whereabouts at that time

In 1901 some of family still in Llangranog, Cardiganshire

Evan Jenkins    widr.   41
Elizabeth Jenkins   dau.   18
Mary Hannah Jenkins  dau.  12

Ann I saw was working as a servant somewhere (didn't note details) but couldn't find David William.

As you can see 'Eliza' has become Elizabeth in 1901 and Mary A. is Mary Hannah - by next census dau's. Ann and Mary Anna living with him plus a 2yr. shown as dau. but probably grand-daughter.  Evan still a widower.

So, Eliza is Elizabeth and still living at home in 1901 - but which is her correct forename??

However, be it Eliza or Elizabeth, if she left home for work after 1901 she could have gone anywhere and trying to find either a likely marriage/death extremely difficult as such a common set of names.

Thanks Annette

David William was my grandfather and ended up living in Cardiff. 1901 he would have been around 14 years old.

I think I may be able to put my hands on Mary Anna (Hannah`s) death cert. She died in Cardiff aged  90 or 91

Found the 1911 census it shows Adelina Jenkins age 2
Then I found she died in 1915 age 6 - mysteries ....

Eliza`s name was put in then crossed out.
