Isabella McCallum married William Furniss in 1882 in Sheffield and they had two daughters Alice in 1884 and Ada Caroline in 1886.The family were on the 1891 census Alice 7 and Ada C 5.Isabella was widowed in 1893 and remarried to a John William Wales in 1896.On the 1901 census the family were John W Wales Isabella Wales wife ,Alice Furniss stepdaughter aged 16 and John son aged 3 . Ada Caroline is missing. I have searched for her death on BMD ,But cannot find anything,I was wondering if she had gone into service but would have thought that the elder girl Alice at16 would have been first to go as Ada wold have only been 14 . any ideas or tips would be very welcome to solve this mystery.

there is a Ada Furness listed on the 1901 born listed as niece.
living next door is a Wm Henry Furniss his wife and their children.....
wonder if this could be her.
I see from your profile you are a new member,... welcome.
just to say that names are often mis spelt, so you need to check variations.
Looking at the marriage index Ada Caroline married in Sheffield in 1912
