Another missing Pope from East Stonehouse, Devon

[overlandermatt]

I have a missing great aunt that I have been unable to locate. The trail seems to go cold after 1911 and I'm wondering what might have happened.

Ethel Margaret Pope was born in East Stonehouse on 3rd Nov 1885 and appears with her family at Chapel Street then Quarry Street in the 1891 and 1901 census returns. In 1911 she is working as a servant in Surrey then the trail goes cold...

In 1902 her father, a Royal Marine sergeant (Benjamin Pope b1859) died leaving the family in a difficult spot. There were 3 girls who were old enough to take care of themselves in those days and 4 boys (born 1890-1896) who were still at school.

It's a strange one because in the 1911 census, the 3 girls including Ethel are all working around Caterham and there are links with the mental asylum there. One dies in Surrey in 1920, one returns to Devon/Cornwall and Ethel Margaret disappears....
 
What took the siblings to Surrey? When they were the right age, the 3 youngest boys went to Greenwich from 1908 onwards as orphans to the Royal Hospital School before joining the marines.

What could have happened to Ethel Margaret? The name appears in a couple of Ancestry hints overseas that I have not investigated. The oldest boy, Albert Edward did move to California possibly via Canada but this is something I have not pursued yet.

Any help on the above would be much appreciated. RootsChat has been very helpful of late in solving some mysteries.

Thanks again Osprey.

The solution was much closer to Plymouth than I thought...

Fred was the youngest brother.
