Just checked every record going, it's definitely Amelia Elizabeth Bearham, can anyone think of a reason why a person would leave no tracks or would leave no trace of their ancestors, we're totally baffled. :-(

I know her daughters, Kathleen was my aunty who married Norman Gooden. Thank you everyone for your replies I should've been more specific, sorry this is my first time back on here after many years.
Its definitely Amelia E Bearham born 1880 in West Bromwich Birmingham and I'm looking for her ancestors if anyone can help ie her mum and dad would get the ball rolling, have totally hit a brick wall, can't find anything at the moment, many thank, Alan and Catherine
