Rosalind Marie Scholz nee King Missing Wives

 Rosalind was reported missing by her estranged hubby in February 1903.
After a volatile relationship, with several police home visits and court appearances, Rosalind supposedly went missing from the spare bedroom of her estranged hubby's house a mere day or 3 before they were to appear in court over Edward paying maintenance to Rosalind.

Her family were distraught at her disappearance, with her already ailing father offering financial rewards for any information as to her whereabouts, which remained unpaid up til his death later that year.

Rosalind did not attend her beloved father's funeral or burial.

Edward was declared bankrupt in late 1903.

In 1907 Edward was granted a divorce on the grounds of desertion, and then remarried.

Rosalind does not have a death certificate nor did she remarry as far as I am able to find ***with limited resources***

I am happy to be corrected!
