Just to eliminate -

The McCarthy marriage isn't hers.
That woman's middle name was Letitia (per birth record) , and she was born in 1905 (per 1939)

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Hi All

This is Lillian, for those who have helped me on my previous post: Leonard's older sister.

FYI: Leonard and Lillian are the two last siblings out of so many that I am researching

. I cant seem to find anything post 1911 census. She isnt with the family in 1921 so she either died or married but nothing is matching up or at least looking possible.
