Still looking, but one thing has me wondering...........

If both parents died in the fire, how did the baby survive??

Am I right in thinking that Catherine is still missing in 1891?  I'm getting confused!

I like the newspaper idea - local libraries have access to the Gale newspaper collection, which would be worth a try.

In Ian's first post he asked about NHS records, but unfortunately they are often closed for 100 years after the death of the patient.  Can't hurt to ask I suppose - if you know where and what name to ask about!

The other usual avenues are things like identifying visitors on the census, looking for naming patterns (any exotic middle names that might be of noble acquisition?) or maybe wills if you know some likely noble families to explore.

Hello,
I keep reading this hoping that something will jump out at me but ...  ;D ::) ???

Glad you have asked about 1891 - I take it she is missing at the moment?

Also just to say when I was looking for clues re convent etc (other thread too) -the Catholic Church was Wellington Road - where the family was in 1881 - not sure if any relevance but what the heck!

Other threads??  :o ::)

Ian, please ensure that you don't allow all these threads to duplicate - you can link them by cutting and pasting the URLs (Control+C +V)

It's best just to have one thread going at a time, cos duplication can lead to aggravation.

School records are a good thing to look for though, since Catherine's age should be recorded and you might find out who paid, if someone did.  It wasn't essential to be Catholic to attend a convent, btw.

Heywood - I can see Gertrude but her age in 1871 is given as 11 (unless the one is written twice).  She's the daughter of a local family but there's a woman from Flintshire in the same household.  Sorry, didn't record the details.

She's with her mother Flora (born Manchester) in censuses 1861-1901 so it's not her.
