  • Ollivette Lancaster: Marriage and/or Death help please

    Could anyone help me find a marriage and/or death for Ollivette (Olivette) Jane Lancaster please.

    Details:
    Birth: c1900 in Lancaster
    1901 Census: Lancaster (aged 1, living with Parents)
    1911 Census: Aldbro, Yorkshire (aged 11, living with Grandparents)

    Her parents were William & Frances Lancaster.

    I think Ollivette's mother (Frances) died in 1905, Selby district. This may be why she is living with her grandparents in 1911.

    I haven't found out what happened to Ollivette's father (William) yet. He isn't really of too much interest to me at the moment.

    Ollivette had a sister (Lillian), bc1904. The sister emigrated and I know what happened to her.

    Any help would be most appreciated.

        Many thanks for having a look Allan.

        The Selby reference you found for Frances Lancaster is the one I have and I believe that it is probably the correct one.

        Ollivette's father was William Rawling Lancaster, he was born in Durham, c1878 and I've not had too much luck with what happened to him.

          That's the correct Olivette living with the Dunns. On the 1911 census she is down as Ollivette Jane Lancaster so it appears that her surname didn't change. I guess it's possible that it may have changed after the 1911 census but I'm sort of doubtful.

          There is an Olivette Dunn involved but she is actually the sister of Frances.
