Janetta COLWELL (General)

I am trying to trace the sister of my great grandmother Harriet Colwell. Her sister appears in the 1861 census at Ruspidge (visiting with her parents) and on the 1871 census as living at Flaxley. She is named as Jane, daughter of Samuel and Esther Colwell (spellings of Colwell vary at various times - e.g. Cowell and Colwill). On this website she is recorded as being baptised as Janetta Colwall June 27th at Tibberton. On the BMD Index her birth is recorded as Janet Colwell born 1858 AMJ Newent Glos 6a 206.

The problem is I cannot find out what happened to her after the 1871 census. I cannot find a record of her marriage or death as Jane, Janet or Janetta Colwell.I've also tried variations on the spelling of Colwell.

Is there anyone out there who has also been researching this family?
