Last known record of Lucy is her marriage to Daniel Morse in Cinderford 1886. After this date no trace has been found of her or any of her surviving children. Not on 1891 or 1901 census. Searched under name of Morse and Prior. Lucy’s sister Emma Saunders, who was looking after one of Lucy’s children cannot be found on 1891 but possible record found on 1901 census.

Now to add the strange bit

Lucy and her children not found after 1886 when she married Daniel Morse
BUT Daniel Morse was found on both 1891 and 1901 Census.
