is this the right family?

It didnt sink in about her age at death so she cant be your grans sister

it looks as though her siblings had all (except my Grandmother Rita Laura) flown the coup by 1911..she used to say that her sister Margaret had gone to America to marry supposedly the Mayor of the county of Illinois but that is hearsay..but i do have old cards from Margaret her address was 26,So Central Ave Clayton-Mo U.S.A. so now i'm wondering if Millie and Margaret went to America together ??

I,m sure you have this but posting for info

spouse Isabella Mitchel

BUT Millie Kripps was 83 when she died in 1911!!

where have you found a Millie listed with the family? could she have been Isabella and known as Millie cos her mum was Isabella too

oh no of course she died 1911 ..just puzzled why she would have recieved notification of her death ...unless it had been her mother Isabella's letter that she has kept all these years .don't think we will ever know thanks Shirley xx.

Not on the 1911 census

I dont have subs to Find My past for passenger records. You could ask for a look up for her and Margaret going to USA

that's possible.. my father used to talk about the aunts as he remembered as a boy millie could be a pet name ..afraid I only got same as you on the 1911 census pity there is no one to ask now they all gone ...

so could this Amelia be our Millie and married William Amstrong and she maybe was visiting at time of census being taken ????

I will do that may find Margaret on a passenger list somewhere and think i will try to find Amelia and her family got a feeling this is our Millie but will have to prove it.. heaven knows who the one is or was in USA too much of an age gap
me thinks thanks E...x

she was just a visitor.
William was married to Elizabeth.
Amelia's were often called Millie so think millie was her nickname
