I am trying to trace my great grandmother's sister, but cannot find any records for her. She was called Lucy Gordon, b1881, Blackburn, Lancashire. I have found her living in Preston in 1901 census with her sister Mary Ann b 1879,but I cannot find any other records for either of them prior to this, no birth records or on 1891 or 1881 census'. Mary Ann married George Alexander Tiller in 1902. I believe that Lucy became a nun and served in a convent in Manchester (possibly) but I do not know which one or when she joined. There was a family story that Mary Ann came from a Gypsy family but don't know how I find this out. |
