I cannot find a marriage or death for Elizabeth.

I have the family, but it is Elizabeth Kathleen I am concentrating on at present.
I am looking and looking and just cannot locate anything more than her birth and on the 1911 Census at 2 years.

Any information would be appreciated. Have looked in trees also but again nothing.

Many thanks.

I was looking to see why she was travelling or for an occupation for her?
It says 'calling or occupation' = HD - (would that be Household Duties??)

(putting that on google Dea, saw below, although wouldn't have had her down for one, seeing family, lol)

Southrop Wedding
Miss M. C. Clifford To Mr. P. B. Brasier-Creagh
The marriage between Mr. Percy Brooke Brasier-Creagh, son of the late Captain Sydney Brasier-Creagh, and of Mrs. Parry, of Mark's Barn, Crewkerne, and Miss Margaret Constance Clifford, daughter of Major and Mrs. Arthur Clifford of Southrop Manor, near Cirencester...

(she was attended by Miss Rosamund and Miss Betty Clifford (her sisters)

That's interesting Chris but I think she would have been a bit too 'posh' to be a cleaner.

I expect she was going over to keep an eye on the servants and the running of the household in one of their residences over there ;-)

As Elizabeth was the daughter of a well-off family, I think HD would be more likely to mean Home Duties (in effect, non-employed ), rather than Household Domestic which implies being employed, as Chris says - unless Household Domestic could also mean a non-employed home-based woman.

In 1911 her father was a "retired army Lieutenant, living on private means", and they had a cook, footman, lady's maid, and several other maids.

Perhaps they had Army links with India, or family out there, to account for Elizabeth's visit?

EDIT:
Snap, Dea!
I was busy researching and typing when you posted .

Hello, please forgive me but it has been a bit of an evening here so only just got time to look in.

Thank you very much indeed for all the work you have done on my behalf.

You have Elizabeth Kathleen Clifford for me and I do so appreciate this. She was never married and that was what I sought to establish and I just could not find anything much about her. I guess I was missing something.

This family is related to me by way of marriage by my Russian grandmother, but that is all. I am writing everything down and just need to establish what had happened to Elizabeth.

It is a fascinating history of the Clifford Family and thank you all most sincerely for your efforts in helping me with this.

Once again what a team you are.

Kind regards,

Just to say once again thanks.
Chris Ho - your information was very helpful. Loved the HD - none of the Dursley family worked as such (as far as I know) - lots of travel and Army connections.
Dea -you are very dear - thanks so much for the travel details.
Gins - many thanks I am going to have a look at that. That come down mainly by way of trusts so most do not inherit finances, but will check that out.
Again - ArgyllGran - you have that sorted well - thanks.

Just to fill you in on the information - Father was A.W.Clifford and his first three children were the girls in order - Rosamund, Elizabeth Kathleen and Margaret Constance, then the son Arthur John. Rosamund and Margaret married, but I could not find anything on Elizabeth.
Many thanks.
more research now to tie things up.
