It’s very unlikely anyone who knows her will see your enquiry

Try looking in members trees ,which is under the search heading above the boards to see if anyone has her in their tree

You can then try to make contact by clicking on the find out more box and sending a message

Doesn’t mean she was an orphan

Her sister is younger so indicates father dead

Maybe as she was 16 she was considered a young adult so father dead isn’t noted
