Are her parents, and all of her siblings, on the censuses after 1881? Have you checked to see if she died? Reg

Mary Fossey, born 1865, youngest daughter of Daniel Fossey, and Sarah Knight. They lived at the Brickworks at Arlesey. Mary was on 1871 census, family under name Forsey. Then on 1881 census, right name Fossey,Mary was working as assistant at the local Co-op Stores. Father and mother on 1891 census living at High Street, Arlesey. Found all the siblings, and who they married. but Mary escapes me. Have looked up Ancestry for a marriage and death, also LDS site. Some of the Fossey family went to America, so I wondered if she went along as well.
