I am hoping the more experienced amongst you may be able to help.
Mira Elizabeth Betts was born Birmingham 1840 (16 404)
Her parents were Joseph Betts 1823 and his wife Harriet 1825, both of Birmingham, they also had the following children Stephen 1854, Mary Jane 1856, Priscilla 1858 and Matthew 1860 all born in Birmingham.

My problem is that I can't find Mira on any of the censuses and thus far have been unable to find a death cert for her, yet I found one for her sister Priscilla who died in 1868.

Any help would be appreciated, thankyou, Tracey
