Find Ancestors

Trying to trace my grandfather's younger sister. She was in a home for orphaned girls who had lost both parents in 1901 census. Found a marriage of a Violet M. Gadd to Howard R.Smales but not sure if this is her. Not been able to find either Violet or Howard in the 1911 census.

To check if it's the right person, you need the marriage cert

It will include her father's details

You haven't said when the marriage was registered..................

I think this is the one who married Howard Smales. They ended up in Australia.

The death Flick posted looks promising.

Are you 100% sure that the 1901 census is your relation?

The birth year and birthplace don't really fit with the child's birth registration...........which I realise may not be significant

Where are the others in 1901?

Thank you all for your threads.
Seem to have hit a brick wall with Violet Maud as she is not the Violet M.Gadd who married Howard R. Smales and emigrated to Australia - wrong middle name and parents. Is there any way of tracing what happened orphan children? Would there be any records held by the home?

Violet Maud Gadd still elusive after 1901 Census when she was at the School for Female Orphans in Grove Road, St.Johns Wood NW, Marylebone. No sign in the 1911 Census and unable to find a marriage or death between 1901 and 1911. Is there any way of tracing the school records?
