Mary Emma Walker born 1886 Yorkshire
Married in 1909 became Mary Emma Hornsey

About 1912 she left her husband and children.

When her husband enlisted in 1915 he states he is married but separated

The only other info we have is some papers found when her husband died which stated that she was at one time living in Gillingham Kent above a fish and chip shop.

Anyone got any idea as to how to proceed, are there any electoral registers that are online, or is this a dead end.

Many thanks
Barbara

Hi GlitterBaby

No she vanished before he died.

Sorry I forgot to mention she was also known as Cissy

Her husband died in 1958 Yorkshire

Thank you

Again the answer is No
There is no trace of her after 1912

Unfortunately, she could be living anywhere with anyone and taken his/their name or called herself anything she wanted unfortunately. Could also have become younger or older than she actually was too. You may be at a dead end especially if she didn't want to be found.

Hi Stuart
I did think it was a dead end but thought I would try and see if anyone knew of any electoral registers that may help
Thanks for your reply
