Have you looked for her on the 1891 - 1901 censuses?

[Jessie 46]

Yes I have but can't find her .

I can only find one Depisa. Died as Skilling 1915, Leith South, 58. Am I doing something wrong?

[CaroleW]

SP births show her as Depesa as does her baptismal record.  Wonder if she married abroad

[Jessie 46]

On SP her death is Depzia Massiah. I am beginning to think she was married elsewhere

The other one on SP in in 1915 is a cousin barryd
