Rosa Sarah Ann Thompson Gray
Rosa Sarah Ann Thompson Gray born 1873. Parents William Gray and Sarah Ann Gray nee Thompson.
Last sighting with her widowed mother and maternal grandfather Benjamin Thompson at Great Ryburgh, Norfolk. Haven't been able to find a marriage and/or death. Just reviewing her I looked at an Ancestry hint which gives this probate record: 18 Mar 1959 • London HARLE, Rose Sarah Ann otherwise Rose Sarah Ann Thompson otherwise Rose of Hazelwood, Upper Park, Loughton, Essex widow died 16 Feb 1959. Probate granted to Olivia Eugenia Mann widow. Effects £446 9s 5d. Is this my Rosa? Why is she otherwise known as Thompson? Why can't I find her marriage record?

Her death reg suggests she was b abt 1873 so would seem likely. Have you looked at the 1939 register?

Otherwise known as, because she was divorced or living with someone?

Merry
Thanks for looking. I meant why was she using the name Thompson as her maiden name was Gray? Something is up with my Ancestry as when I tried your link I just got a blank screen, but I'll try again later.

Got it now!
The birthdate in 1939 is 29 Dec 1872. My Rosa's birth was registered 1st quarter of 1873 so that fits. Now to find her in 1891, 1901, 1911 and her elusive marriage.

No Mr Harle's dying in Essex around 1901.
I have to go out now. Hope you sort her out. I think it should be possible once you get Ancestry playing!
