Where did Caroline go?
« on: Thursday 24 May 18 08:31 BST (UK) »
Caroline Mary Bear was b. 1870 in Hackney but 1871-1881 lives with parents Robert and Sarah in Shenfield and Warley, Essex then no sign of her, marriage/death etc.
I have tried different ways of spelling her name, using just parts of name etc., but nothing comes up so would appreciate some help in finding her if possible.

There is a Caroline Bear aged 21 working as a domestic servant in the home of Alfred L Shaw on the 1891 census. [I looked for her on familysearch.] Might possibly be yours??

It does say she was born in Berks - but I doubt she filled it in herself!

I did wonder as the marriage was in Farnham RD which covers Aldershot  ::)
Baptism of Harold Henry Frederick Hill gives father Henry's occupation as Soldier. 

By 1905 his occupation is Rivetter on Florence Lillian Hill's baptism.

Thank you all very,very much. I do think this is her. Since posting my request I have been busy and came up with some of the same records. The 1891 b. Berkshire did throw me but I decided to think 'outside the box' and when I found the marriage followed through.
This Caroline who married Henry Hill 1901 shows b. Warley, Essex, Well although born Hackney our Caroline was in Warley by the time she was 6 mths old so that would fit, 1911 she is a widow born Brentwood Essex so again that fits.
Add to that most names of her children are same as in her family's etc., so I'm now pretty sure we have her.
Many thanks to you all for your interest and hard work, I really do appreciate your help so much.
