Find Ancestors

I am trying to gain more information about my grandmother's sister.
Margaret Lucy Tapley known in the family as Maggie was born in 1880 in Grindleton, Clitheroe, Lancashire.
Her parents were William Tapley born in Luton in 1853 and Margaret Cowell born in Fleetwood around 1856.
Her siblings were Ann (my Nana); William; George; Richard; Joseph; and Lillian.
I know that she emigrated to Canada and had quite a few children including daughters - Rita and Jo. I think she eventually settled in Vancouver but I cannot be sure of that.
What I want to know is when she emigrated? Was she married at the time - if so to whom, when, and where. If not who did she marry and when and where? When and where did she die? Any information about her children - who were they, when and where were they born, who did they marry, did they have any children?
Any info or advice on where to look to get the infoI need would be much appreciated.

Cant see her on the 1911

Thanks. Had that info already. But then the trail goes dead. Unless anyone can help?

I guessed you had that info but I was trying to narrow the search down my finding her last in the UK

So it looks like she left for where ever between 1901 - 1911

Ive search Canadian records and cant find anything.

Do you have any other information on her at all?

You ask who she married and who her children were but you seem to name two of them 'Rita' and 'Jo'?

How do you know about these children please

Only found a Margaret Mae Tapley who had married a Charles Wilbur Corey in Canada.

Hmmm

I've found a tree on Ancestry with a Margaret Tapley born 1880 (unknown) having children in Canada. Dies in 1963 (again not mentioned where)

Married a Charles H Corey.

about Margaret Corey

Last Residence: 73108 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Oklahoma, United States of America
Born: 20 Oct 1879
Died: Jan 1976
State (Year) SSN issued: Oklahoma (1965

I know from brief things my mother said when she was alive that Maggie had about 7 children and mother used to get Christmas Cards from 2 of them - Rita and Jo - but these stopped in the early 90s and mother never explained why.
I'm at a loss where to go next.

Doubt that its her - she was Margaret Lucy (on census records Lucie was spelt in different ways and sometimes ommited.)

This could be her?

You doubt the marriage is her?

The death may well not be correct but the marriage looks good and matches the Tree that Tracey found

Hi,
Thanks - this looks the most promising. It is possible that the Maggie who married Charles Corey is "my" Maggie.
I know that most of her children lived in Vancouver (and I always thought that she stayed there - although maybe not!) I'm sure as well that her daughter Rita (who may actually have also been called Margaret) married somebody called Barrat (or some similar such spelling)
Any more info, advice or pointers would be appreciated.

Sorry - the messages on here confuse me. They don't put the answer directly with the posting.
I was saying that the Margaret Mae Tapley was unlikely to be her.

seriously, any help in locating her or her descendents will be much appreciated.

Mike

Are you sure you have the right one?

This seems to be Margaret Lucy's birth reg but it shows mmn as Rover not Cowell (not that i can find a Tapley/Rover marriage nor can I find them in 1881!)

that fits nicely with this marriage

Don't know if you had all this Michael but posting just in case it is of use

Margaret's mother was definitely Margaret Cowell born in Fleetwood in about 1856.
I am happy with what I know about her up to 1901 - but it is after that I want to know.
I want to know when she went to Canada; who and when and where she married; and any children, grandchildren, great grandchildren etc.
Thanks.

Mike
