Missing ancestor in the 1971 census
« on: Saturday 25 December 21 19:41 GMT (UK) »
Hi I'm trying to trace a Elizabeth Gillard born 1851 Yeovil Somerset died 1922 yeovil. She can be found in the censuses from 1851- to 1901 apart from i1871.
Elizabeth had two children George and Harry. It is believed Harry was born in 1870   middlesex and George was born 1876 yeovil out of wedlock.  So Elizabeth was possibly still in greater London during 1971.
Any help would be appreciated in trying to track her.

Many thanks

Thank you.
I wonder who Thomas Ferryman was to Elizabeth and why she was in London.
