I have been trying to unravel the Snowden family. In the 1911 census they are living in Ainsdale with father Thomas William Snowden and his wife Sarah at 34, Mill Lane, Ainsdale. In the 1901 census they were living in Hull , Sculcoates district at 23, Albert Street. The first three children were born to Thomas’s first wife Eliza Gertrude Jacklin ( two prior to the marriage I think) Eliza died in December 1897 Sculcoates and Thomas married Sarah Dudding Voakes in Hull in March 1899. The remaining five children were born to this marriage.
Jennie was born Jenny Snowden Jacklin in the June quarter 1892 in Sculcoates (Hull). In 1911 Jennie was not living with the family in Ainsdale. She was living in Hesketh Park, Southport as a visitor and servant with the Rimmer family. She was mis-transcribed as Sennie Snowden in this census. I have been able to trace all the stems of the Snowden family except for Jennie. She disappears completely after 1911. Any suggestions as to where I can find her?

Have you checked this girl,


Name:
Jennie Snowden

25 Jan 1918

28207

Many thanks for your reply Bert. Not sure it is my Jennie as it gives her age on discharge in 1919 as 21 and my Jennie would have been 27 in 1919. She is such a mystery.

We know from her brothers service papers, she was in Southport in 1919, what looks like High Park, Southport.

Perhaps a search of the Southport area Electoral Registers for the following years would help.

It's possible she took the name of a man and never married, she may be on the 39 register under that other name, exact date of birth would help.

Yes I had seen that Bert. I had looked for her in the 1939 Register but couldn’t find her but that’s a great idea to look for her with her exact date of birth. I had actually ordered her birth certificate yesterday from the GRO before posting my query so hopefully when that arrives I’ll look again at the 1939 Register. Thanks again for your help.

Marie,

Hopefully a first name search and the date of birth may reveal the gentleman she was living with, if she was.

Thanks Bert. Will do. Here’s hoping!!
