I'm trying to find my father's aunt, Edith Ann Roberts. She was born in 1871 and was the daughter of Robert Roberts Station master at Abercarn station in Monmouthshire. I can't find her after the 1891 census. I never heard my father mention her and we never ever saw her. I'd be grateful for any information

The most common reason for a female of her age "Disappearing" from census records is that they got married and thenceforth were known by their husbands surname.

You could try looking for her in the 1901 census by just entering her forename + Birthplace + birthyear (+/-1) in the census search form.

This may not be her but it is the only Edith Ann Roberts marriage showing up in the rough area 1891~1901.

Good luck

Idon't know if e veryone will get this message, but thankyou very much for your help. I'm in poor health at the moment so if I keep disappearing I'm probably prone in bed! This whole procedure is driving me mad but absolutely fascinating.
