Thank you so much for this I only had one other sibling now there are several

For elimination in 1911 census:

This is NOT her.

RENDALL
MARY ANN

Westray
Orkney


Having looked at the names of other members of that household, this is a different Mary Ann, parents Thomas and Ann.

a tree on ancestry has no marriage or death for her
some nice photos of the family

So , if your Mary Ann did marry, that cuts down the possibilities (assuming she still lived on Westray) to

the marriage to James Stout 1907;
or Henry Mowat Rendall 1901



Ah - going back to the 1911 census -
amongst the people in that household were also:

RENDALL
HENRY MOWAT
1911
M
2
033/1 5/ 1
Westray
Orkney

and

RENDALL
HENRY MOWAT
1911
M
27
033/1 5/ 1
Westray
Orkney

So that probably means that the Mary Ann Rendall who married Henry Mowat Rendall was the daughter of Thomas and Ann.

However, this is the Stout couple in 1911:

STOUT
JAMES
1911
M
35
033/1 1/ 2
Westray
Orkney


STOUT
MARY
1911
F
26
033/1 1/ 2
Westray
Orkney

So that's not her either - too young.

Use the free search on Scotland’s People to look for info yourself

Her birth clearly includes a third forename, which one would expect to be used for any official events


First name(s) Mary Ann Groat
Last name Rendall
Gender Female
Birth year 1881
Birth place Westray, Orkney, Scotland
Baptism year -
Baptism date -
Baptism place -
Father's first name(s) John
Father's last name Rendall
Mother's first name(s) Janet
Mother's last name Paterson
Residence Scotland
Place Westray
County Orkney

I agree, one would - but her birth record is the only time her middle name Groat is used.

So far, I can't see any definite sign of her anywhere in the world after 1901, with or without the name Groat..

John and Janet Rendall, with William

1881 England, Wales & Scotland Census
Quoy Birse Broughtown, Westray & Papa Westray, Westray, Orkney, Scotland

First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place
John Rendall Head Married Male 26 1855 Farmer's Servant Westray, Orkney, Scotland
Jannet Rendall Wife Married Female 30 1851 - Westray, Orkney, Scotland
William Rendall Son - Male 1 1880 - Westray, Orkney, Scotland

As he's already aged 1 on the census then this looks to be his birth (the other 2 are 1881)
