Clara's a name in it's own right too Keith. Could it be a middle name she used at some point? J

If she's on 1881 but no subsequent censes, perhaps she died. Have you looked for death records, or do you know this is impossible (other children born after, for example)?

Do you have any idea when they married - if there were children her maiden name would be on their birth certs. nell
