What is quite interesting is that Maria Abel was a workhouse officer on 1901 census, described as "Girls trainer" so perhaps that is how she came to know of Enoch if he was in the workhouse?

Looks like 1871 could be her, her parents must have lived in Durham because she surely wouldn't be in Durham on her own age 12. Another mystery Rambling, see one of her children on the 1901 census was Enock, Lee, found him born Pontefract in 1899 but couldn't find him or mother Margaret on the 1911 census. In 1901 she was in prison in Pontefract. name of Bell been written in.

Spotted on 1891 census Andrew Bell ( who maybe would have been my Pops dad) states born in Yorkshire , on 1901 he is down as Andrew Lee born Durham his sister Agnes R born in Castleford but she I'd not on the 1901 . Looking back through posts a Mark Bell and on one of the Military records think it was Andrews, , he's mention as being an elder brother,

John pretty sure this is Enoch 1911 given birthplace

Perhaps Margaret Dennison was his true wife. She was described as being a 'lunatic' on the 1881 census. I wonder who Margaret Connor from Scotland is.
