The two youngest daughters of an Argentinian sheep farmer came to boarding school in England and then disappeared. Help!
Marquita E Reid (b. abt 1865) and Ellen Reid (b. Jan 1867) were born on their father's estancia near Buenos Aires. I have Ellen's birth from a reliable online family tree but Marquita's birth isn't there.
1881 England census: RG11 / 1191 / 58 / 3
they are at Arnwood House boarding school, Hordle, Hampshire.
1891 England census: RG12 / 1764 / 27 / 8
Ellen is a visitor to the New family at Craddock House, Uffculme, Devon.
Ancestry transcribed her birthplace as USA instead of South America.
And that seems to be that. Their mother died in Argentina and their father Patrick Vans Agnew Reid is at Spring Grove House, Milverton, Somerset in 1881 and 1891. He was at Bournemouth in 1901 and died at Bathampton, Somerset in 1908.
Their brother James McClymont Reid tried his hand at ranching in the 1880s but seems to have died in Winchcombe, Gloucestershire in 1916.
Any offers?
