My 2xgt.aunt Rose Eleanor Limer born 1850 in Wisbech Cambs. seems to disappear after the 1881 census. Cannot find her in 1891 or 1901, nor find a marriage or a death for her. Any suggestions appreciated. Pat.

There's a Rose E. Simer, born Wisbech c. 1853 working as a housekeeper in Paddington, London. The enumerator's L's and S's are similar, although I know the birth year is out by a couple of years. Kath. x

Paula, Sorry not to get back sooner, but GR went crazy and could not get back on. Thank you for the list of names. I do think Rose E Simer is the right one, it is so close to being Limer. I have looked at the 1901 index for any married Rose born Wisbech 1850 plus or minus 5 years, and there are just 6 but none living in London. There is one living Kingston upon Hull- Sculcoates, which is where some of her family moved to, so maybe that is a connection to her. Maybe I`m clutching at straws. I wonder if you could give me the address in Paddington in 1891 if it is not too mucg trouble. Many thanks, Pat.
