Muriel Kathleen Henderson b 1903

Hoping someone will be able to help me.

Still searching for Muriel Kathleen Henderson, born 2 March 1903 in Hammersmith London, UK. Her parents were George Aberdein Henderson (b. Aberdeen, Scotland) 1864-1932 and Ellen Smith 1863-1930 (b. Monksilver, Somerset, UK). In the 1911 census Muriel is living in West London with her parents and older sister Jean Henderson. In 1912 she emigrated to Canada, her father was already there and she travelled with her mother Ellen on the ship. Then I have the 1921 Canadian census for Cochrane, ON saying she is living with her parents and is age 18 and her occupation is a clerk - her name is recorded as "Merriel I Henderson".
She was my Grandfathers youngest sister and I know she was known as "Kit" by the family. I also know that she visited London with her husband - although we don't know what his name was, or what her married name was, and there is nobody left in the family I can ask.
I can find no records of her marriage or what happened to her after 1921.
I think I have got lost in an eternal circle with this and keep going down the same enquiry route and can't get anywhere.

Hoping for some expert help.

Hi,
Thank you for that information. Grace was Muriel's sister and Marjorie was her daughter. I could not find any record of Marjorie's death on Ancestry, so that really helps. Thank you again, it really helps with the research.

Hi,
That's brilliant, it is definitely Daphne - her middle name was Laurent (not Lawrence) so it is definitely her - not many middle names sounding like Lawrence! I believe Laurent was also her father's middle name - unless the Laurent Hostellet was a name unto itself!
Thank you for such brilliant help.
