Find Ancestors

I am trying to trace my great aunt. Miriam Brown (also known as Minnie) born North Wingfield Derbyshire in 1890.

Miriam's whereabouts are unknown between 1909 and 1920 when she marries my gt uncle.

Address in 1909 - postcard from Alice Brown addressed to Minnie c/o Mrs Allett, Swaithwick Farm, Wingerworth Chesterfield (7 miles from Matlock)

Can anyone please help find Miriam , I have been unable to find the above adress on the 1911 census.

Thank you in anticipation
Debra

Swaithwick Lane shows on google maps for Wingerworth today, so farm should be somewhere around......

There are a few Swathwick Wingerworth dwellings in 1911, but cannot see any Alletts, e.g.:
WINTERBARKER JUN, Robert Head Married
15 years M 42 1869 Farmer And Cattle Dealer Derbyshire Walton
74 WINTERBARKER, Nellie Wife Married F 41 1870 Derbyshire Clay Cross
74 WINTERBARKER, Ethel Servant Single F 18 1893 General Servant Domestic Derbyshire Wingerworth
74 POLLARD, Samuel Servant Single M 14 1897 Farm Labourer Derbyshire Uppertour
RG number: RG14 Piece: 21083 Reference: RG14PN21083 RG78PN1257 RD438 SD2 ED4 SN74
Registration District: Chesterfield Sub District: Chesterfield Enumeration District: 4 Parish: Wingerworth Address: Swathwick Wingerworth County: Derbyshire

Have you found her on the l90l - if so, do you have her parent's names and address, may be worth looking for them in l9ll to see if she is with them, perhaps the name has been mistranscribed

It's Swathwick, not Swaithwick.

Who did Miriam marry can you give his name, date and place of birth to help locate her

1901 - address Wooley Clay Cross Chesterfield Derbyshire - Coal Miner (Dateler - casual)

Address in 1901 for her father Henry.

Miriam is living with the family and is rcorded as Minnie. Have found the family again in the 1911 but Miriam is not with them.

What was Miriam doing and where was she living just before she was married?
Thanks.

Clay Cross & Wingerworth are 3.3 miles apart according to Google Maps.

I have reread the post card but there are no further clues other than she is definitely working for Mrs Allett and that she is living there as she has not been home for some weeks.

On marriage cert she is a spinster, no work details recorded. Address Langdale End (the village where Darncombe Farm is).

Must sign off now early start tomorrow.

Thank you all for your time and efforts

Hi

There is a Brown family living next door to the Alletts in 1901. Maybe worth a look to see if they are related to Minnie

EDIT just to give a bit more detail on the 1901census info,

The Allett's street address is given as 'Swathwick'. George's occupation is 'Farmer'

Before their entry is a something 'Hall' and before that looks like 'The Barley Mow Inn'.

After their entry comes the Brown family, street address 'Derby Road' ( head of household George Brown, tailor/outfitter ), followed by another entry listed as 'Swathwick' occupied by a farmer.

So it isn't clear which address is Swathwick Farm, unless several farmers are sharing it!

So it seems the Alletts moved to Nether house Farm (1911 census) between 1909 & 1911 but Minnie didn't move with them.

Thanks for PM, marriage details as requested.

Atkinson Harry Easingwold 9d 841
Brown Miriam Easingwold 9d 841

So in 1909 she was in Wingerworth and in 1920 in Scarborough. Most of her siblings from the 1901 census were still with her parents in 1911 except Lily and Alice. Any idea what happened to them?
Afraid I'm not much use here as I don't have a sub to 1911 and there are lots of Miriam/Minnie Browns. Been all around the houses via free searches but couldn't view the details to verify anything.
Finding Lily & Alice would be useful if only to discount the possibility that she was living with them.
Posting the 1901 census here for ref so other people don't have to go looking for it:
