There was an extended Blincoe family in Kilburn area. When Rosa moved to London she influenced her cousins to move to Willesden and join her. The work opportunities probably being the main drawcard. While we know definitely Ada, Louisa and Fanny were there this photographic also shows Lily was either visting or staying in Willesden at some point. Lily looks around 15-18 so this dates the photo taken in the in Willesden about 1910-1913

Elsie Mabel Rentle

1911 Census A dressmaker father a Tailors Foreman.
Married in Harlesden in 1915
On the 14 November Elsie and Daughter travel/emigrate? to the USA on the ship SS Washington. They give the USA as their intended home on the outgoing passenger list. Why just Elsie and Audrey is a puzzle they judging buy incoming US Customs records are bound for Haskell Institute in Lawrence Kansas. Audrey 18 at this time is stated to be a saleslady. The Haskell Institute a Indian Heritage Institution seemingly has no relevant connection to Elsies family past. It seems that Audrey is considered an emigrant was she joining a American she had met in WW2 perhaps this was very common at the time and was then Elsie accompanying her.
