Thank you everyone for your help and searching.
ArgyllGran I think you have her! How did you manage to get to her??
I'm going to send for a death certificate to see if its really her.
Off I go on another branch I hope.
Thank you all xx

I have no idea if that's the right woman or not!
I just searched for the death of any Millicent or Minnie Wallace born in 1880 , and picked one that seemed reasonable - but only the death cert will prove whether or not that's the right one.

At least it will if the informant is a relative whose name you recognise.


"The following information was recorded on death certificates in England and Wales between 1 July 1837 and 31 March 1969:

When and where died
Name and surname
Sex
Age
Occupation
Cause of death
Signature, description and residence of informant
When registered."

Thank you everyone for all your help and support for my search for Millicent Osborne.
I have her and the story of what happened to her. The thing I have really learned is that even the birth, marriage and death certificates are not always accurate , and definate memories of family can be completely wrong.
Millicent Osborne was born in 18th August 1879 , Married Albert Wallace (b 1880) in 1900.
They had twins Herbert and Albert 10th January 1901, son Sidney Harry Wallace 1903-1904 and youngest son Henry Stanley b 1905. She left when Henry (Harry) was quite small and had a child with Edward Lancaster in 1908. I cannot find a marriage for them but she seems to have taken his name and written out her life with Albert Wallace. She went on to have 8 children with Edward Lancaster and died in 1928 with him by her side, in Ashby de la Zouche. Having previously lived in Leicester and Nottingham.
We actually got the lead from a DNA ethnicity test and some of her decendants were also on there.
WE are now on the search for all we can to find the rest of the family and my mother finally has some peace of mind about about her grandmother and a million more questions.
Thank you all
Sandra
