Dear Friends
I have been looking for any trace of my Atkinson family since the last entry I found on 1901 census,all family members seem to have disappeared after that ,

Michael Atkinson age 34yrs born Westmoorland
Margaret Ann Atkinson [nee Parry] age 31yrs born Wales
Francis May Atkinson age 6yrs born Barrow in Furness Lancashire
Winefred Atkinson age 3yrs born Barrow in Furess
Frederick William Atkinson 5 months born Barrow In Furness

[Half sister of Margaret] , Lucy Dent, age 21yrs Askam in Furness Lancashire
[plus two brothers of Michael Atkinson ,]
Lancelot Atkinson age 48yrs born Appleby Westmoorland
Henry Dobson Atkinson age 44yrs born Westmoorland

The 1901 census says they were living Barrow In Furness Lancashire . I have checked all sites I know, I also looked for marriage of Lucy Dent , I also looked at Death entries, incase of early deaths ,I have looked at 1911 census, I can not find any more info about any of this family , any help will be very gratefully received.

Regards Sheila
