There are 38 pages of Lizzie born 1900 in the 1939 register without an actual birth date it is like looking for a needle in a haystack  ;D

Another possibility to concider could be that Lizzie has been committed to an institution and would be recorded by her initials. Alternatively she could have emigrated but I have not found her in any of the indexes.

I know it's very fustation. this is why I said i couldn't find her any where :(
literally just vanished.  if committed to an insituation it's hard to actually understand if it's them because it's only initials

Mother Amelia Jane seems to have left a will.

Probate calendar 1937

Corps AmelIa Jane of Manor Cottage Stokesley Middlesborough widow died 14 Jan 1937 at Highcroft Ruscombe Twyford Berkshire Probate York 16 March to Charles Corps railway dock superintendent.

It might be worth obtaining a copy of this will.

William

You can order them from the find a will website:-

https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/Calendar#calendar

This should take you straight to the page with Amelia's name.  Just fill in the form on the right and I think the cost is £10.

Looks as though the link I gave you isn't going to work.  Use this one instead.

https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#calendar

When you open it, make sure you have the years 1858 to 1996 showing.  Enter the surname Corps and the year 1937.  When it comes up you can then fill in the details on the form on the right.

If you get stuck, ask for help.

Hi,

A bit of different idea, could she have joined the Women's Royal Air Force?

Something must be misspelt as I can't find a Lizzie CORPEN anywhere ???

Do I take it that you have bought the record and you can't read it because it is twisted in some way?

If so you should complain to National Archives and tell them it is unreadable.
