I have lost track of two of my ancestors. Can the forum please get me back on track? Eliza NICHOLLS, dau. of John NICHOLLS, of Nailbridge, born 1844. August 12th. 1878 married John FRENCH, a collier, at Flaxley Church. John FRENCH gives his father's name as Charles (a haulier), residence Flaxley Meend, and his age is "full" (unhelpful). I cannot find them in the 1881 census. I cannot find a John FRENCH with a father Charles, so I cannot find his birthplace or birth year. Eliza FRENCH reappears in the 1891 census living with her sister and brother-in-law Mary and Charles BAYNHAM at Broadmoor, Cinderford. Eliza is a widow, age 46. I cannot find John FRENCH's death reg. or burial. After 1901 Eliza disappears. I cannot find if she remarried or if she died about that time, apparently not locally. I could not find her in the 1911 census as Eliza FRENCH. Any help or advice appreciated.
