Find Ancestors

I am now totally confused by all of this!!
I cannot put the names etc into any sort of chronological order.
Any help/advice/info - particularly relating to the initial enquiry - will be appreciated.

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

so possibly Ann Hormby is her paternal grandfather

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

thanks Ginny - no wonder I could not find her using familysearch! Heyhouses Lane is only 1 few miles away from where I live

that fits nicely with this marriage

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!)

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

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.

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

This could be her?

Canadian Passenger Lists, 1865-1935
about Margt Tapper
Name: Margt Tapper
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Estimated birth year: abt 1880
Date of Arrival: 21 Dec 1901
Vessel: Parisian
Search Ship Database: View the 'Parisian' in the 'Passenger Ships and Images' database
Port of Arrival: St John, New Brunswick
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England
Roll: T-505

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

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.

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

Gael

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

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

Shes still in the UK and single in 1901
