Thank you very much everyone

If you all have time
I am trying to trace Peter's sister

Margaret did she marry?

She was also born Whiston 1842

I have a big mystery with this family which I won't bore you all with now.

Would anyone be able toe see also who Peter and Margaret's parents were

I think the mother was called Elizabeth as she went on to marry

John Swift around 1849-1850.

Any help would be fantastic

Please can someone look up Peter for me

He was born 1839c in Whiston Lancashire

married Esther also born Whiston 1846c

occupation 1881 coalminer.

They had children living with them by the name of Smith who were obviously Esther's from a previous marriage.

Just interested to see who they were living with and where and the occupations in 1891 and 1901

many thanks

Elizabeth
