Eliza Riley

Post by Norfolk Nan »

Hi

Eliza Riley, born c1819 Wiltshire, is missing from the 1891 census. Last seen living with her Davison relatives in Chelsea in 1881, she’s not with any known relative nor the workhouses or infirmaries or hospitals in the area. I’ve tried a number of variations and as I believe she died in 1894 she must be somewhere. If anyone finds her please let me know, thank you.

Eliza is on the 1881 census but not 1891. Have you checked for a possible marriage or death during those years? Have you sent for the death certificate of the Eliza Riley who died in Chelsea in 1894? (Dec Q Vol 1a, pg 239) You refer to it as if this Eliza is 'yours' but you need the certificate to prove it, as the name could be just a coincidence.
