Now here is where the real confusion come in between Lillian Reid 1859 and the sister-in-law Lillian Walker b. 1863...
The 1900 census shows a Lillian Walker living and working as a maid in RI. This has oft been attributed to our Lillian Reid Walker, but upon closer inspection... it appears that this is the (not quite murdered) Lillian Walker as the dob is 1863. Both Lillians had both sets of parents born in RI.
1900: Cranston, Providence, RI: Single/cousin/nurse/housekeeper to Calvin & Imogene Hopkins Woodward. DOB 11/62 in CA. Imogene is related to Lillian Walker through her mother Mercelia Hopkins Walker.
1910: Cranston, Providence, RI: single/servant/housekeeper to Florence Williams. Born 1863 in CA, both parents RI.
1920: Cranston, Providence, RI: single/housekeeper to Willian & Lydia Feaner. Born 1864 in CA.
1930: Putnam, Windham, CT: single/housekeeper to Lewis F Battey. Born 1864 in CA, both parents RI.
1940: Putnam, Windham, CT: widowed/housekeeper to Lewis F Battey. Born 1864 in CA.
To add to this confusion... Lillian Walker, who died in Putnam, Windham, CT is shown of findagrave to be the mother of Clarence Reid Walker. the dob is 1863-1947. So, I conclude that this is actually the Lillian, aunt to Clarence and whomever set this profile up is in error.
So, the short story... is that I have no idea where Lillian Reid went after the divorce. No records found.
