There are two Margaret Riley births that could be hers on freebmd, one in 1876 and this one in 1877:

Births Dec 1877 (>99%)

RILEY Margaret Manchester 8d 304
Lancashire bmds have a Margaret Riley registered in the St George's area in 1877, which is where the family are living in 1871 & 1881, so I would send for the one posted above.

The 1881 census should read BOUSFIELD


marriage
:
John Bousfield

Date of Registration:Oct-Nov-Dec 1863

Registration district:
Chorlton Lancashire

Volume Number:8c
Page Number:660

If "niece" really means niece in the 1881, I don't think that's our Margaret. At least I can't see any Bousfield -Riley or Grimbley (or spelling variation)-Riley marriage except one in Shoreditch in 1875, which can't be relevant, because the wife (Elizabeth Grimbley) was born in Shoreditch, per censuses, whereas Margaret Bousfield (nee Grimbley/Grimley) was born Ormskirk.

I'll post it just for ref & elimination:

Marriages Jun 1875 (>99%)

Grimbley Elizabeth Shoreditch 1c 217
Riley George Shoreditch 1c 217

The Margaret Riley 1880 who is down as niece with the Bousfield family seems to become Margaret Bousfield daughter on 1891/1901 census!!

Thomas Riley born 1838 Ireland married Alice Grimbley/Grimley born Ormskirk 1836 married 12/2/1860 8b 388 and had daughter Margaret Riley 1880/1 with Aunt and Uncle Bousfield according to tree on Ancestry.

Yes, I agree.
I couldn't find a link to that Margaret in 1881.

So still looking for her in 1881

Mike, so you don't think she's the one I posted in 1881?

Do we know who the witness's were on Herbert and Margarets wedding in 1899 or where they were 1901??

Maryb

I've tried various spellings, but so far haven't found them in 1901.

Sad to see that by 1911 they'd had 9 children, but only 2 had survived.

This will be one of those who died:
Deaths Sep 1904 (>99%)
Tommins Herbert 0 Salford 8d 54

Father and daughter??
Deaths Sep 1911 (>99%)
Tommons Herbert 35 Salford 8d 58
Tommons May 0 Salford 8d 217

Potty, I meant the Niece of John Bousfield in 1881.

The one you posted lodging with the Turners is more likely.

When was her sister Bridget supposed to have been born,as it was found that Amelia was her daughter and not sister.

Maryb.

i have no idea when bridget was born ,i also found amelia was her daughter maybe bridget was too ,my grandma believed them to be aunts but must of been from margarets first marraige to tommins my grandma and 2 sisters hilda nellie were placed in a convent when my grandma was 7 and never had contact till she was older with margaret and edward her parents and we were only aware of her having a step sister mary ,but turned out nellie wasn't a duffy either ,all confusing thats why i cant seem to find out my great great grandmas maiden name , Thankyou and everyone who trying to help im very grateful
