Harriet Elizabeth Luker
« on: Friday 07 January 22 16:54 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help with the date of my Aunt's death?
She was my father's half sister born on 18th Sept 1876 in Boscombe, Bournemouth. I never met her and my father never mentioned her. She was from my grandfather's 1st marriage. Her mother died when she was 9 and there were no siblings.
I have just found her with Occupation - 'Under Matron' at a small boarding school in Weston Super Mare on the 1921 census. The school was Etonhurst which no longer exists. I have searched the 1939 register but haven't found a suitable person. I have many letters written by my father to my mother during the 1940's and there is no mention of her. I feel sure that if she had gone abroad there would have been some mention of this as he talked about the rest of his family. I am the only one left in this branch so there is no one to ask.
All suggestions gratefully received. I have posted in Somerset as this is her last known address.

How does Harriet Luker, age 52,  Sep Q 1929. Croyden, fit? Died just before her 53rd birthday. Informant unaware of her full name?

P S I see you asked the same question back in 2012. Perhaps the moderator will link to avoid duplication of effort.

Please remember that duplicated requests result in wasted time & efforts by RC members

Have you already discounted the Harriet E Luker marriage in 1917 which is on freebmd?

This marriage is to William Boxhall and her father wasn't John Luker.

John Luker died 1934 & left a will - have you downloaded a copy to see if she is mentioned in it?

For elimination purposes - Did you follow up the 1929 death mentioned in my reply to your post in 2012?  What was the result?

Is her date of birth (18. 9.1876). from her actual birth cert?  Your previous thread gives it as 19/9?

Is that reply re “the London Lukers” in connection to my question re the 1929 death? 

What about the birth cert - see my reply above re discrepancy in dates
