Martha Agnes Zech born 1876 is not listed in the 1901 Census. She is not living at home with her parents and two brothers older than her.
She was a seamstress apprentice
Is it possible to find where she is living? Can anyone help with ideas
1916 she left by ship to USA working as a ladies maid.
Thank you
