Find Ancestors

I have a Bessie Beale as my Grand Aunt born 1877 Beckley Sussex . I can find her on the 1881,1891,1901 Census but after that nothing . No marriage or death certificates.
Any help would be appreciated.

David

Was Bessie her official birth name?

Where was she in 1901?

have you tried searching using the name Beal - no final ‘e’?

Does she act as a witness to the marriages of any of her siblings after 1901?

There is a record on FMP for a woman of that name aged 42 in 1919 arriving in San Francisco

No image, so info is limited

For INFO

In 1901 she and her younger sister Matilda were servants in Maidstone, Kent.
Bessie was a Cook

She is in a number of GR trees……….are all the ‘owners’ known to you? If not, one or more of them may have additional info

Ancestry suggests this is Bessie in 1911;

Can't see a Huttel/Beale marriage. Maybe they married in Germany - or not at all.

There is an article in The Bath Chronicle, 26 Feb 1916 titled AN ENEMY ALIEN.

Basically George 54, a baker of 13 Alexander Rd was in front of the Magistrates charged with being an enemy alien and failing to report himself when he moved districts.

He had moved to Bath from Margate about 16 months previously and thought that registering in Margate was sufficient. He had come to England in 1879 and had an English wife and 4 children.

He was fined £5 or a month's imprisonment and the bench hoped that the publicity surrounding this trial would send a 'very definite warning' to any other aliens in the district to comply with registration.

He described himself as being 'half Scotch and half German.'

George in 1901 so not the one in West Ham.

In 1881 George was in Westminster

Eliza Christina D Hess was with aunt and uncle in 1871 and 1881 in Camberwell

The key to the query may well be to find her in 1901

Newspaper article on FMP dated 25/11/1899
Streatham News

Elizabeth Huttell, wife of a Baker, living away from her, was summonsed by the NSPCC for wilfully neglecting two children, etc etc

She was at 25, Thicket Wood Chambers

Her husband had at some stage allowed her £1.00 per week, but reduced it to 15shillings

May be totally unconnected, of course

There are, however, two likely births in W Ham on freebmd, as the neglected children were 8 and 5 at the time of the court case

defendant sentenced to 3 months with hard labour

Bessie’s son Raymond on 1939 in Bath as HUTTELL, with wife Lily

Daisy and Dorothy Huttel in Margate in 1901

Dorothy married George A Solly in 1917
Daisy married Frank T Pearce in 1920

Irrelevant to the OP's query about Bessie Beale - but just following George Huttel's wife -

As already posted, Elizabeth C D Huttel was discharged from Southwark workhouse in 1904.

She was there again in 1905, listed as Eliza Huttel.
The "observations at admission" column says:
Police. "Mental"
