She is not living with the Owen family we see her with in 1901 in Whittington near Oswestry in Shropshire. However in 1915, she marries my grandfather at the age of 21 in Whittington. Helen

Member Since: November 2005 Posts: 8 Send Message	I am looking for my grandmother's twin sister Elizabeth Wood b 1894 in Whittington near Oswestry Shropshire England in April 20, 1894. Her mother was Emily Morgan b Feb 21, 1877 in Whittington as well. Elizabeth's father was John Wood b 1873 in Guisborough Yorkshire. The last I can find on them is the 1901 Census where they were all living in Heptonstall at 39 Acre Lane Registration district Todmorten, subdistrict Hebden Bridge with 4 boarders. The 1911 Census has father John Wood living in Guisborough with his parents Robert Rickerby and Martha Wood, and his new wife Esther and four children all born since 1903. No mention of Elizabeth. I can't find Elizabeth or her mother Emily in the 1911 Census. Where should I go from here? I'm lost now that I have run out of censuses! Should I look for their deaths? If so what would be the efficient way in view of the fact that all I know is that it would be after 1901? Should I look for a marriage for Elizabeth? If so, how? Other ideas? Your input is much appreciated! Helen Griffiths, Vancouver BC, Canada
