I've hit a brick wall trying to track down what happened to Rebecca Hannah (maiden name Dodds).
She's born to John Dods (1834-1898) and Isabella Adams (1838-1912) on the 3rd of March 1857 in Dundee and can be reliably tracked on the 1861 census living with her family in Glasgow and on the 1871 census working as a servant.
On the 10th July 1877 in Rutherglen, she marries Adam Arthur Hannah. The pair are both listed as living at 8 Gallowflat Place and working as a tailor and tailoress respectively.
On the 8th November 1878, Adam dies and this is the last place I can find Rebecca. Adam is listed as residing at 170 Thomson St, Dennistoun, so presumably this is also her address.
By the 1881 census, she's disappeared. She's not buried with her parents in their lair (though neither are most of her siblings so this isn't surprising) and there are no marriages or deaths for Rebecca Hannah or Dodds between 1878 and 1881.
I've tried searching for her in Canadian, American and English records as well but no luck. Does anyone have any advice?
