Carol ,thank you for the date for Bessie,Manchester will be a good starting point.

Agdowey, apologies , should know by now to put dates,this is what I have.
Catherine O`brien b 1886 Dunbar , East Lothian,Scotland
Married John William Noon 1906 Dunbar, East Lothian
They had two children ,Bessie Nora b 1907Dunbar, and Minnie   b 1913 Kinghorn , Fife.John was in the Royal Artillery.John was in Malta in 1911.Catherine and Bessie were in Dunbar in 1911.
She seems to have disappeared after 1913 as Minnie was adopted as a baby.I think they might have divorced.
Bessie got married in Dunbar in 1931 to Joseph Sandercock but I can`t be sure she lived in Dunbar after
1913. No sign of Catherine in Scotland either.
Bessie and family were in India with John in 1940/1947. I found them coming home on the Arundel Castle to Southampton, giving a DUNBAR  address as finsl destination. It looks as though they went to Manchester,as Carol has found her there.
Hoping someone connected to the family would have any idea of Catherine`s whereabouts .I found a Catherine Noon d 1941 in Leeds on Ancestry in the library ,but no details of maiden name.
As you can see I have quite a bit on the family which I would be happy to share . It would be nice to find out what happened to Catherine.
Many thanks

Hi, I am granddaughter of Bessie Nora, she was brought up by an uncle William (Bill) Miller and aunt Annie Miller dont know maiden name could she have been a sister of Katherine O'Brien, my grandmother had no contact with her mother but we heard she lived until she was over 90, you said no your post that John Noon had also gone to India with my grandmother, can you verify this info as my mother has no recollection of this.
