It was her middle name. You can see from her age that it is the same person.

Experience shows that it is very common in 19th century records for people to treat their given names as interchangeable, alternate between them, switch them around etc.

Ah that makes more sense now thank you!

Any ideas what happened to her after 1901?

Especially if there was someone else in the family known by that name- an aunt or mum for example.

She hasn’t been found yet.

I think i've found Myra and Louise on the 1939 Register still living in Monmouthshire - Myra appears to have married and louise is living with her - Ive attached a link to the picture on my Google Drive (it was too big to upload to here haha)

I might be completely wrong though ???

I think you are correct even though dob may be suspect.

On FreeBMD you can see three McGuire / Hill births in Bedwelty district

Haven’t found marriage though under Maguire or McGuire

Her death. Dob varying again.

Deaths Dec 1972   
MAGUIRE    MYRA EDITH    5DE1888    BEDWELLTY    8C   326

Marriage Dec.qtr.1921 Bedwelty - Daniel J. Maguire and Edith Hill. 

So she married in just her second name of Edith.

FamilySearch 1911 index shows Edith Hill working as a Laundry Maid in a hospital in Bedwelty.

Clearly her birthday was 5 December (1939 register and death entry) but correct year of birth was 1890 (reg'd Dec.1890).

I note on the 1939 register page posted here that 2 of her brothers in same road - George Francis at no.53 and William Henry at no.49.

Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.   Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.   Just walk beside me and be my friend.

I'm no good at coming up with links I'm afraid - however, from 1911 index on FamilySearch she is easily found in Bedwelty as Edith Hill - on Ancestry she has been transcribed as 'Eorth' rather than Edith.
