Where is Doris May Taylor?
« on: Tuesday 03 September 24 08:31 BST (UK) »
Hi there,
I am needing some help locating Doris May Taylor after the 1921 Census.
She is born 28 May 1907 to John Taylor and Isabella Harrison and is the eldest of two children.  Her younger brother John Harrison is born 10 years later in 1917.   
We find her on the 1911 Census with her parents living at 75 Tudhoe Colliery Spennymoor, Durham and then in 1921 they are now living a few doors down at 86 Tudhoe Collier, Spennymoor.
Her father dies in 1925 (from TB) at Sedgefield and there is no mention of the children on the will with everything left to Isabella.    I have tried looking for her on the 1939 Uk Census and nothing lines up.  I haven't found a marriage record nor a conclusive death record.   Her mother dies in 1950, but everything is left to her son and no mention of Doris. Its like she never existed.
Any help to find her would be very much appreciated because someone just can't vanish, can they?

With regard to Isabella's probate record, do you have a copy of her will as that may record further information.

Thank, yes I do. It leaves everything to her son and no mention of Doris.
