Hello all,
thank you for your responses but to no avail.
I have traced everybody (except Mary Ellen) in this/my family to the modern day.
Some of the info posted here is correct some isn't and we are going over the same well worn road.
So rather than doing that can some one suggest any alternative, paid or not, any left-field area or anybody who can tell me how to find a person who, it seems, is not registered anywhere. (I will consider clairvoyance!)
Otherwise I should delete this post to save the time of all you good people.
Thank you all very much
Paul
ps Mary Ellen's nephew Arthur (my grandfather) was involved with his siblings to get them into an orphanage (1911). In the paperwork he needed to list next of kin. He entered a list but there was no mention of Mary Ellen.
