Henry Brain or Henry Herbert? (General)

To stir the pot a little more. After the 1891 I have not found Henry, his wife Susan nor their daughter Berth E (Emily) Brain on census records.

I did find a possible death for a Henry Brain, record shows he was born abt 1854 and died in 1897 age abt 43. Q2 vol 9b page 360. Death registered in Dewsbury Yorkshire.Dewsbury was the administration centre for BMD for surrounding villages at that time. If I have the correct Henry, he may have finally ended up in Yorkshire, where the Brain/Herbert/Waite families were residing at that time.

A possible death for Susan Brain nee Waite. Records shows a Susan Brain buried 8 May 1891 Cinderford. Age at death 36.

I am now searching for the daughter of Henry and Susan. She was Bertha Emily Brain, born Sep 1882 Westbury S. 6a 240.

The only one I could find was a Bertha Brain born abt 1879 Gloucestershire, working as a servant in the household of Ada Feary, a Pub manageress in Wakefield Leeds. Bertha's age was given as 22. Bertha's age on 1891 census was given as 8, so presumably she would have been abt 18/19 in 1901. Any ideas? Regards Jean Herbert
