Correct alviegal. That's exactly what I meant! I did see from the opening post that the marriage for the parents had been found.

I don't see a Margaret born 1873 with the couple in 1881. The Margaret with them then is aged only 7 months.

The child Martha Alice died.

I think rootgatherer meant potential marriages for the children, Mark. If they are with the family in one census but not in the next, they may have got married in that 10 year period.

That is what you are hoping to find out, isn't it? :-D

Good Morning

I am seeking information with regards to Elizabeth Anne Parkinson, 1850, Farnworth, Lancashire. She married Peter Brooks in Bolton in 1873 and had the following children, Margaret 1873, James 1874, William 1875, Mary E 1876. I would be interested to know if any of the children married. Thanks
