On the 1901 census she isnt with her husband. She wouldn't have been on any earlier ones or later ones due to being in India.

She was born in India in Jul 1879.

Cyril and Winifred were her step-children. Elizabeth was Charles McMorran's first wife.

Thanks - I think i am going to order that marriage certificate of Maile to Skingley just to prove/disprove if it is the same person.

I think that is the way ahead - but surely she would have married as Clara Louisa McMorran?

Thank you - I do have that death cert - his son registered the death.

Wish i could find her on the 1901 census.

I will order the marriage cert this evening.

I rather think Clara would have known Charles had died as she married the year after in India.

"Nicki Report 13 Nov 2017 11:42
Clara married Andrew O'Gorman on 30 June 1903 in India."

Surely the most obvious thing is that Clara stayed in India?
She had a child, Maureen, probably not her husband's, he was already back here for the 1901 census without her, Clara married again after Charles death.

Or am I missing something that wasn't already given on the other thread? :-S

Nicki

Nicki Report 14 Nov 2017 16:28

Clara and Andrew my great-grandparents stayed in India until 1947 - it is the birth of Maureen/Mary Louise that is confounding and confusing.

I have just ordered the Maile/Skingley marriage certificate - maybe i have been following the wrong Clara. An old Aunt said that Clara's maiden name was Maile.

Thanks for your your help.

I think the Clara Maile who married Skingley is this one


MAYLE, CLARA LOUISA BROCK Order
GRO Reference: 1880 M Quarter in MARYLEBONE Volume 01A Page 601

1891 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
Hurstway Street, Kensington, London & Middlesex, England

James Maile Head Married Male 54 1837 Bricklayer Middlesex, England
Kate L Maile Wife Married Female 30 1861 - Devon, England ( **Maiden name Brock)
Clara Maile Daughter - Female 11 1880 - Middlesex, England ( Clara Louisa)
James Maile Son - Male 9 1882 - Middlesex, England
Isabel M Maile Daughter - Female 8 1883 - Middlesex, England
Kate L Maile Daughter - Female 6 1885 - Middlesex, England
George Maile Son - Male 2 1889 - Middlesex, England

The birth for Skingley Clara in 1911 is given as 1880 which ties in, rather than 1875 for your Clara in India.
