Hi

I'm trying to find out about Helena Cobley b1871 Blackfriars London. I've found her in the census but then she vanishes, I'm guessing that she gets married.

So how can I found out if she did get married?
How can I find out about other females that vanish off the census?
And were do I go from here\/

Thanks
Bree

Is this her marriage:-

Name: COBLEY, Helena Beatrice
Registration District: Lambeth
County: London
Year of Registration: 1897
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Spouse's last name: Not available before 1912
Volume No: 1D
Page No: 497

Spouse is either William Gardner or James Charles Crockford.

I usually just look for a marriage between the year of the last census you found her in and the next one.
