If you ask for a look up for 1910 USA census you will be able to find out who she was living with and it may help to trace her back.

Edit.

There's a thread at the moment on this board, someone offering lookups.

yessss Christine this has got to be it thanks to all ...you are all great xx

seems the right family hadn't heard father talk of a Mary but maybe she died young on the 1911 census they were to have 10 children but only 7 were living 3 had died ..maybe right with the Millie Kripps could have been my g grandmother's sister and gave Amelia pet name of Millie after the millie Kripps in USA in which she would have been Mrs M Kripps formally Mitchell

I've found this on Familysearch pilot.

Christine

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

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

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

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 Amelia was still around in 1901

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.

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

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

I,m sure you have this but posting for info
Name: William Welsh
Year of Registration: 1873
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Houghton Le Spring
County: Durham
Volume: 10a
Page: 819
spouse Isabella Mitchel

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 ??

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

is this the right family?

If Millie Kripps was 83 in 1911 she must have been born c1828.
