As I remember, Mithrellas went missing after shacking up with what's-his-name (see
bold underlined) of Numenor. It's not explained where, why or how, but left to speculation. I like to imagine that hubby was a pushy, bossy-boots Numenorean male who kind of imposed his will upon Mithrellas, and that she did a runner at some point, after she got jack of him.
There's been disagreement in discussions about whether or not the first kids of this union of Silvan and Numenorean were included in The Choice of the Peredhil. That's because Mandos's decree about The Half Elven originally cited only the line of Earendil as included by the choice of mortality/immortality. Though if you look at LotR appendices, the Choice of the Peredhil is not circumscribed in this fashion. I've always thought that had Mithrellas nabbed the kids, chucked them on a straight-road boat and sailed into Tol Eressea that they would have been permitted the choice. I also reckon that bossy daddy Numenorean meant that the kids were pushed into taking the mortal choice....
