Eliza Annie WOOD of Guernsey

[granny lukeis]

Hi trying to find what became of x2 great aunt Eliza Annie wood of Guernsey,only shows in 1921 census in UK,after that hard to know what records are her etc

[CaroleW]

More info please

No birthyear given?  No details given as to where she was living in 1921 or who she was living with?  What was her occupation in 1921?

1911 for the CI has an Annie Eliza Wood b 1875 Guernsey - is that her?

[granny lukeis]

Should be her,born round 1873/74, no idea of occupation in 1921 as she was in England during the census,1911 census has her listed as household companion

Your opening post suggests you have her 1921 entry in which case you should know where she was living in England, who she was living with & her occupation.

Have you looked for a possible marriage or death after 1921?  www.freebmd.org.uk

Have you found her on the 1939 register? 

You refer to her as Eliza Annie but all censuses pre 1921 refer to her as Annie E

Hi
In 1921 she is single 46 and in Camberwell

from free search keyword Guernsey.

That may help.

partly why i do carole is because her mother was elizabeth, it was a victorian trend to name the oldest same sex child after the mother hence my thinking around her being eliza annie, eliza being short for elizabeth & actually was no easy feat trying to search record by record on FindMyPast to find her in the 1921 census, common names don't help

[CaroleW]

It is quite a common name and unfortunately we don't know whether she remained in England or returned to the CI.

If you had her actual birthdate you could search for her on the 1939 register

There is this marriage in Camberwell but I have ruled it out as George was only born 1905 & the death reg shows Annie as Annie Elizabeth b 1908

Marriages Dec 1928   
Caffell    George E     Camberwell    1d   1653    
Wood    Annie E     Camberwell    1d   1653

hiya carole logically she would have stayed in england post 1921 as her parents came from pribright surrey & morcombelake dorset so she would have had cousins, aunts uncles etc in that lower region of england,her sister lilian died pre the 1911 census & her four brothers , two of which emigrated before ww1 were in nz , a brother his wife & five children were in nz by 1921,22 & all four brothers had established themselves in nz so it may be possible she visited one of her four brothers here in nz being the only close surviving kin she had. her parents died in 1923 & 1926 on guernsey in st peters port in a building that at the time was a hospital but building now serves a different purpose, by 1921 she would have been deemed a spinster so hard to know if she married or not
