No, I've tried that already. No sign of her.
Thanks for the suggestion, though.

If she was a nurse you may find her on the nurses register - try ancestry.

I wonder if someone can help me find out what happened to Iris after 1931, please?
PLEASE NOTE: I know all about her parents and siblings, so please don't waste your time on them.
It's only Iris I need to know about.
This is all I can find:

(There are other siblings born after 1911).
Her parents and four of her siblings are in Stratton Audley in 1921, but she's not with them.
There's an Iris Margaret Allen 1902 in Wantage, Berks, in 1921 - but born in Hampshire, unless that 's a mistranscription.
In 1929, 1930 and 1931 she's living in some sort of women's hostel or similar , in Reading (Possibly nurses' home, as the old Battle Hospital was at 344 Oxford Road - or maybe live-in accommodation for other hospital staff):
Iris Margaret May Allen
in the Berkshire, England, Electoral Registers, 1840-1965
Name: Iris Margaret May Allen
Residence Date: 1931
Street Address: 344 Oxford Road
Residence Place: Berkshire, England
Parliamentary Division: Reading Borough
After 1931 she seems to disappear. At least, she doesn't show up with both her middle names or initials, which would help. There are lots of Iris M or Iris Margaret Allens.
I may have to buy her birth cert, for her exact DOB.
An Iris M Allen married in Reading in 1946, but her middle name was Maud.
Iris Margaret May is on two public trees on Ancestry. One has nothing for her after 1911. The other wrongly claims her death is that of an Iris Jessie May Allen in 1918.
