As well as Caroline Hubbard going awol,
her elder brother James Alfred also vanished after 1861.
He was born at Mundesley, Norfolk 11 January 1847 and his family had moved to neighbouring Gimingham by 1861
That's my last sighting of him. There were other James Hubbards from Norfolk around at the same time and all the census records I've found so far are for them. James had three surviving sisters - Sarah who married and stayed on home turf, Caroline who went awol after 1871 and also Ann Elizabeth, who went into service and was in Dover in 1881 before marrying at Deptford in 1882 and settling in London. There was also a brother Robert, who was employed at West Somerton in Norfolk in 1871 before going to Rotherhithe and Deptford, where he worked at the London docks. There must have been contact between Ann Elizabeth & Robert because Rbt & his lady were the two witnesses at Ann E's marriage. I can track Sarah, Robert and Ann Elizabeth through each census until their deaths, but no sign of either Caroline after 1871 or of James after 1861.
Thanks for reading.
