Thanks Kath
Strange if its the same person in the 1901 Census got to have a wife and child then in 1891

Marriages Jun 1886 (>99%)
Brockbank Margaret Ellen Bolton 8c 474
MORGAN James Edward Bolton 8c 474
O'NEILL Julia Bolton 8c 474

Looks like wife and child were with her parents in 1891 census, Ann.
