Hilda Lizzie WHIDDETT

[Euphonium23]

Hilda Lizzie WHIDDETT was the youngest of 13 children of John and Emma (nee Dadd), who died giving birth to her in 1903. Her 14 year old sister, my gran, told my mother that she was given to an aunt to bring up and that she never saw her again. I discovered that she was Christened in High Halden church and recently discovered her to be on the 1911 Census as daughter of Edward William and Elizabeth (nee Hughes) Dadd of The George Inn, Wye, Kent. Her name was transcribed as Hilda Elisabeth Whiddett Dodd, an error.
Please, can anyone throw any light on what happened to her? I've searched BMD records with no success. My gran died in 1976 always having wished to have known what happened to her little sister.

Welcome to rootschat 

Do you have a precise date of birth for Hilda?

The reason I ask is that there is a marriage of a Hilda E Dadd to a George Harvey in 1946.

There is the death of a Hilda Lizzie Harvey in 1985, and her birth date is given as 14th April 1903.

I see that 'your' Hilda was born in the 2nd quarter of 1903, so this would fit.

Probably irrelevant (unless Hilda was the informant on the death cert) but her adopted Dad's death is -

March 1943
Ashford
ref 2a 1937
Edward W Dadd
age 82

She wasn't born till 1903, so wont be on 1901 census! Plus her parents are known to be John and Emma, not Stephen and Louisa!

Marriage?

Hilda I M Dadd
   

But her name was Hilda Lizzie/Elizabeth. Middle initials I M not mentioned in the original posting

Marriage?

Hilda I M Dadd
   Marriage Registration
Jan-Feb-Mar
   1930
   Medway
   Kent
Spouse Name William F Smith
Volume   2A
Page   1249
Line Number   106

There was a Hilda Irene M Dadd bn  in 1905, so I think this marriage relates to her.

The marriage JenB found, to Mr Harvey, is looking good.
