Hi Ivy,
Thanks for looking not sure really haven't looked any earlier just couldn't find her later. She is the marriage and death records as Thamar but I guess anything is possible. If it is though it doesn't account for why she is not with the family in 1901 maybe she was not fit enough to care for the children and is in some kind of institution somewhere.
