Who was she, what happened to her? Solving this mystery is beginning to bug me - maybe you can help.

John Silcock b1812 Hoose remarried in 1866 Liverpool to Mary Blackmore (whose first husband George Davies died in 1865).
In 1871 he is living in Hoose with Mary, his son Samuel Silcock, grandson James Silcock (tho' says Sherlock on image) and 3 Davies stepchildren: Joseph 1857, Ann 1859 and "Georgeiana" 1869

The first part of the mystery being if she was born in 1869 and Mary's first husband died in 1865 she can't be a step-daughter of John, plus wife Mary was born c1818 which would make her a little old to be Georgiana's mother. But there is a Wirral birth for a Georgiana Davies 1869. So who were her parents?

Second part of the mystery is what happened to her? Can't find a death for her, or any further reference other than 1871.

John and Mary later moved to Llanbeblig, Wales, being "Sinkirk" in 1881 and "Sincock" in 1891. John died in 1893.

Would appreciate any help in finding who Georgiana's parents really were and/or what happened to her.

Many thanks in advance

Could she have died? Her birth cert would reveal her parents but could she have been a grandchild?

Her birth certificate should reveal the answer. Mary at 50 may still have been able to have a child but the 1871 says she was born in 1822 which would make her 47 when Georgiana was born. The birth cert may not have the father's name on it or she may have used the name of her deceased husband. Either way if the child is hers or not it will answer your query.

Have you considered this death? May have been mistranscribed.
