Gertrude, Emma and Eliza Grace Godber from EVERTON, LIVERPOOL

Gertrude, Emma and Eliza Grace Godber from EVERTON, LIVERPOOL

All three girls were the daughters of Frederick Godber and Maria Hunter, all born in Everton (West Derby district), Liverpool in early 1860s.

All three girls disappear as teenagers - no obvious death or marriage records. Did they emigrate?

All clues welcome.

Thanks Malcolm!

Subsequent to the message I did discover Gertrude's marriage to Mr Mayfield.

Grace is a curiosity - I found a 1901 census record for her, unmarried with a 7 year old daughter (also Grace). but still cant find earlier census records for her. Where on earth was she? Overseas? In jail? Living with someone under another name?

Emma is however still a mystery - disapers after 1871.

PS. I did know about the boys but had already traced them.

Thanks for your response,

Claire

Claire,
Grace junior married Joseph Watson, 1913 in Hackney. I will dig a little deeper for Emma.
I can also trace this Godber tree back to 1685 if it is any use to you.
What is you connection with the Godber clan?
