Adeline Orita Kirwan was born in The Falkland Islands in 1908.
She traveled to the UK on board the Oronsa with her sister Madeline brother William and their mother
Madeline Agatha Kirwan (née Biggs) and apparently arrived in Liverpool in 1916.
I cannot see them in the 2021 Cemsus. So not sure what happened to them.
Adeline, often known as Orita, married Frank Laurence Voller, a London doctor, in 1932.
I believe she died in London about 1956 but cannot find a record.
Perhaps I am missing some obvious clues but would appreciate help with
1) What happened to her when she arrived in 1916?
2) Where is the record of her death?

Hi
There is a death registration for
Adeline M O Valler, aged 47 (b.c 1909) Q4 1956, Wandsworth 5D 763
Could this be her?

Frank died 2.11.1980 & left a will - estate £43,000 +

Search 1981 - not 1980

2 children born - 1934 & 1940 www.freebmd.org.uk

Check for them in London on the 1939. She is Voller this time.
I can't give full details as it's against RC policy.

The passenger list gives their intended address as Park Cottage , Blackhall , Edinburgh. Perhaps they were still there in 1921. I don't think ScotlandsPeople has the 1921 census yet - but I could be wrong ?

Due for release sometime later this year

Might not be Scotland ~
Her father , Sidney James Kirwan d. 15 May 1922, . 40 Brenda Road, Upper Tooting. RD Richmond, Surrey
Probate - 9 Jan 1923, London to Madeline Kirwan, widow £614

Thank you to Gadget, CaroleW and Christine53 for helpful guidance.
There has been some mention in the family of a possible stay in Scotland so will follow this up when information is available.
Regarding Sidney James Kirwan, Adelines father, we believe he had left her mother before they left the Falklands and although we knew about his death in the UK not sure when he arrived here--not too important to our search as we are mainly interested in the daughter.
Again thanks for helpful and speedy responses

Re possible separation of parents - see my mention of probate to Madeline (above)
Probate - 9 Jan 1923, London to Madeline Kirwan, widow £614
This was from the probate index/register.
They might have separated but ??
-
from electoral registers 1920 & 21 I think Madeline (mother) is at 23 York St, Paddington
By 1926 they've moved to 12 Colville Terrace, Kensington (William now also listed, and Madeleine jnr shows in 1929)
Which helps locate them on 1921, transcribed as Kirman. Adeline is listed as Orita
-
Sidney is indeed living elsewhere in 1921 - in Richmond
-
I don'tt think we're supposed to give info from the 1921, Mabel. I saw him a while ago.There was no sign of Madeline on the Scottish valuation rolls of 1920 or 1925.
I see you found them in London!
-
I've only listed info from the freely accessible search results, which I understood to be OK
-
Thank you for the additional information
