Elizabeth ROGERS born 26 Nov 1897 Summerhill, Gwersyllt, Denbighshire

I can only say...The Lancs one is a very good fit for her birthdate counting back from June in 1921. There is one in Dec Q 1897, which is Elizabeth Annie, 1939 has her birthdate Oct 1897. The other is your Elizabeth, in the Mar Q 1898 as within 6 weeks to register.

There is no other of same namesake born around right time, with Wrexham registration.

I am not sure any family researcher can say with certainty what their ancestors did over hundred years ago. It could have been a short spell of work, or something not mentioned.

I know in my own FH research, there are some family stories I can confirm, others not. Also through DNA some skeletons.

Best wishes in your research

My Mum and her sister both born in Gwersyllt worked away from home as housekeepers in the 1930, one  in Formby and the other in Neston. I never knew that until the 1939 register.
Incidentally I live in Gwersyllt.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts. I think I may need to think outside the box when I hit a brick wall, such as assuming someone wouldn’t go out in service away from their home town. My own 3x great grandmother met/married my gg gf in Dorset - he lived in mid Somerset, she came from Lymington, Hampshire!  That took me many years to discover!
