Help to trace Frederica Headland

[jbj63]

I don't have any idea.  There was another sister called Mary Swepson Headland who was the daughter of Robert and Susannah. She was born abt. 1834 in Marlborough Wiltshire, but I can't find anything for her after 1853.  She appears in 1853 as a witness to the marriage of my 2 x great grandparents Henry Turner Arminger to Emma Eliza Headland in St. Pancras.  Again... nothing after that.

This is probably a complete red herring, but the combination of surname and birthplace made me wonder    I'll throw it into the mix anyway

Good find Jen...I considered that one too but was put off with the name Emily and DOB was out.

I'm sure you're right, the age is wrong too  Just that the coincidence of surname and birthplace made me wonder.......

Emily F. Farant is in Hampshire in 1891 
So worth a try though.

Is there any evidence that she emigrated and came back?

[Treetotal]

Only the 1891 census by which time she was a widow so maybe she married abroad and came back after her husband died. She was only married for 5 years and looks like she didn't have any children.
Could there have been another F. Headland in the family?
If this is her travelling abroad...she would have been 55 years old in 1886.
