Ellen Orpin Missing

[tracky]

I am interested in finding out more about my Grandmother's family named Orpin who came from West Malling in Kent, UK. Her parents names were Emma Orpin B 1849 and William Edward Orpin B 1850 they had 10 children.

This looks like William and Emma's marriage. West Malling is in the Maidstone registration district

Thank you Christanel, I already had the marriage information, I am very interested in tracing one of their daughters Ellen Orpin B 1876 in West Malling Kent, I have her working at the age of 35 years for a couple close to London, then she just disappears, cannot find marriage of death certificate for Ellen, most of her other siblings including my Grandmothers I have quite a bit of information on them.
thanking you for your trouble. Tracky

This is surely not a one name study

Peter, thank you for reminding me to look at the forum heading.
Moved to Kent, as the more appropriate place for this query.

Hello tracky

Like you I am not having much luck finding anything on Ellen after the 1911 census which you already have.

Hopefully another member may be able to find something.

Don't know whether this is your Ellen or not, but there is an Ellen ORPIN in the 1915 and 1918 Electoral Registers of Lewisham. In 1915 she is living at 7 Longhurst Road and in 1918 she is living at 292 High Street - no other ORPINs shown living with her.

Hi
I don't have anything on Ellen specifically for you but if you're trying to take the Orpins back further, this might help widen the search https://www.woodchurchancestry.org.uk...ages/index.php
I also research the West Malling area and although the index doesn't specify this parish, it does include Maidstone and I've found it helpful.
Good luck!
