Help required to locate 2 ggg aunts
 
I have been inspired by the recent reduction in the cost of wills, to do a bit more of my tree. This led to me ordering the death cert for my ggg uncle Charles Clarke, which sadly didn't prove as interesting as I had thought, but did encourage me to find out what happened to 2 of his sisters Elizabeth c1846 and Caroline c1856 Great Ellingham Norfolk. I have traced his siblings, including my gg grandfather William, to their deaths but lost these 2 after 1871. I am making use of the free Ancestry weekend to look for them, but have had no luck. I did think I had found a marriage for Elizabeth to a Thomas Drake Chillystone, but that turns out to be an Elizabeth Carter. Thomas does appear to be their illegitimate cousin by their grandfather Thomas Drake and his housekeeper/partner Charlotte Chillystone.

Any help would be appreciated, as i would like to find them while I still have Ancestry access.
Thanks

Can you say where they were in 1871, and what they were doing?

As Charles came to London, via the railway? then perhaps they did too?

There may be too many Carolines in London b 1856 Norfolk, but that's what I'd look for. Norfolk places get horribly mangled in the hands of an enumerator. You'll only know it when you see it.

This is getting slightly confusing, as I now find that I had traced Elizabeth in 1881 in Harleston and in 1891 in New Buckenham, as a housekeeper, but I don't have her at all in 1871. Caroline wa with her father Samuel and sister Mary Ann, both were in Hackney in 1881

In 1881 she is in New Buckenham and 1891 in Starston.

Whoops, sorry, yes that is what I meant

Here's Elizabeth in 1911:

She and James married in 1899 in Norwich district. (discovering she had a middle name made it much easier!)

Deaths Dec 1930
Howlett Elizabeth R 87 Norwich 4b 138

Sadly that is a different Elizabeth, my one didn't have a middle name and I have managed to find the baptism for Elizabeth Rebecca in 1843 and mine was baptised in 1846

Merry 23-08-19 19:43

Oh, OK.

Merry 23-08-19 19:46

In which case that's not yours in New Buckenham in 1881!
