Hi All

the below is the 1911 census for her and her mother is my Great Great Aunt, after this her husband Enos, dies in 1913. According to a Probate Calendar, his will wasn't sorted until 1944 and his widow is named as Effie Amelia Bethell. I found she married a William Bethell in 1929. However cannot find anything for her daughter after 1911.....she would have been too old to be adopted?
