Hi! My great aunt was born 31 Oct 1899. I have her birth record and also the 1911 census record. It appears that she died but can’t find the death record? She is not on the 1911 census record. The 1911 census record shows that her mother had 5 children and 3 were living:
Birth Record for Margaret Clark:

17 Clyde Street, Dumbarton, Scotland
Father James Clark, Rivetter/Journeyman
Mother Annie Clark, maiden name Love

1901 Census Record:
Maggie Clark, age 1
17 Clyde Street, Dumbarton, Scotland
James Clark, 32
Annie Clark, 24
Mary Clark, 5 years
Maggie Clark, 1
Eliza Clark, 3 mos.
1911 Census Record:

James Clark, 42
Annie Clark, 34
Mary, 12
Eliza, 10
Robert, 5
Margaret Love, 63, mother-in-law, widow
Mother had 5 children, and 3 are living
1911 Census Record - no Maggie
Appreciate any comments or help. Thanks!

Presume you have already checked that she us not elsewhere in 1911 - relatives etc?
Have you looked for a death on SP? I can’t see anything in Dunbarton 1901-1911

Hi Carole,
Yes, I have looked on Scotland’s People for a death record. Have not been able to find her with any relatives. Also looking for her sister Mary Clark..

There is a 10 year old Maggie Clark indexed in Dumbarton in 1911.

There is Mary Clark, died aged 91, in 1990 (mother's name: LOVE) Death registered at Martha Street, register office, Glasgow This might well be the Mary you have on the census. However, if you already have a different date for Mary's death, then this could be Maggie.

Hi Terri
Doesn't help with finding Margaret and Mary, but I wonder if this is the paternity action that Annie Love took against reputed father after the birth of daughter Mary?
