Disappearing act - Grace or Gertrude Sanderson

[Sloe Gin]

Oh, well done you sleuths!   The Gibraltar one looks very promising - and intriguing. 

No, I haven't got her birth certificate as she's only a twig and I just started tidying up some loose ends.  If this is her she won't be on 1939 anyway 

The census entry suggests that she was known as Grace, and the arrival entry "Mrs G Grace Clark" fits in with that assumption. 

ETA  That's it Rosie, you've cracked it!  Brilliant stuff, thank you!

Burial of Gertrude Grace Clark, 22 August 1938, Rippleside Cemetery.
Age 30
Very sad.
Also buried in the grave, Thomas Clark and Annie Elizabeth Clark. Both in 1950, I think her parents in law.

I'm very pleased to be able to fill in Grace's story at last, but sad it was a short one.  At least she got to see a bit of the world in her short life.
Thanks to everyone who helped.

A bonus is the confirmation of foreign travel, since I've never found a record of William's marriage to Alice Gertrude Moxon.  In 1911 they say they've been  married for four years.  The families were neighbours in Sheerness and connected through the dockyard, and both seem to have been very respectable.  I've been told that William was a Methodist lay preacher.  No trace of earlier marriages, and they don't seem the type not to bother with marriage.  I had considered the possibility that they married abroad, but had no reason till now to think that they left England.

There is also a record for William Sanderson age 56 (inspector ) they had also been in Gibraltar
Alice Sanderson age 51
Winifred Sanderson age 21
Port of Departure Bombay India
Arrival date 23 May 1930 London
Ship Viceroy of India
Address going to 119.Alma Road Sheerness Kent

No, I came to the conclusion that it was either outside England & Wales, or one of those clerical error ones that got lost between the church/register office and the GRO.  The Kent Sandersons were Methodist (don't know about the Moxons) and I haven't been able to get at the Methodist registers yet. 

I've got other missing marriages where I'm quite prepared to believe that they never bothered to tie the knot officially  but it seems out of character for these people.
