Desperately seeking info on what happened to the older daughter of Samuel & Sarah (Fennell) Eveleigh. Eliza Maria Eveleigh, born in Manchester in 1854, married George Walker of Topcliffe, North Yorkshire (b. 1848) in Prestwich, Lancashire in 1879, had five children born in Wandsworth between 1880 & 1889, and then both George and Eliza disappear; their five children live from then on with Eliza's mother Sarah Eveleigh or at boarding schools. George was a wine merchant. Word came of the death of Eliza in the late 1920's or early 1930's but WHERE were she and George from 1890 until their deaths? Their granddaughter does not think they left England.
Sarah Eveleigh lived until 1906 and died in Chorlton cum Hardy. A family rumour had Eliza as being in the London area for a time. Her daughter's obituary said her parents were "of Buxton" but we don't know if this is correct.
Any info very greatly appreciated as Eliza's granddaughter is still living and would love to have these missing pieces to her family history. She is the only living descendant on either the Walker or the Eveleigh side. Have checked the 1891 and 1901 census numerous times but simply cannot find either of them.
Please Help!!
