Find Ancestors

I am trying to find Bannister Longworth, I have found him in 1891 census in Blackburn, but i can't find anything else about him, apart from i know he died in 1898 (found this on Frebmd)he lived with Margaret Boardman and had several children with her, the children have surname Boardman and middle name Longworth one of which was William Boardman my Grandad. In 1901 census they became known as Bell. Please can anyone help, i am very confused. Bright Blessings Helen

Thankyou Ann of Green Gables, Crikey that was quick, It looks like Bannister had another family before Margaret Boardman. Can i be cheeky and ask if you can find anything for Margaret Boardman becoming Margaret Bell.
Crikey i can't believe how quick you did that, i have been going round in circles for weeks.
Many Thanks
Helen

Thankyou to you too Moody Blue, How do you do this so quickly, I am very grateful like i said to ann i have been going round and round in circles, this is so exciting. Many Thanks again
Helen

Sorry Moody Blue just replied but i don't know where it went. I never thought of Bell being her maiden name, it could be, but i wonder what happened to Boardman and the child, I do know that the L stands for Longworth and is the middle name of the children in the 1891 census, the plot thickens, its getting even more exciting Thanks again.

Oh my Goodness, I think you are right, I have just re read what you sent and yes it could be, i will have to redo my tree, i have gone off in completely the wrong direction, lol, i have added someone elses relatives to my tree, oh dear.
This is very confusing.
So poor James died when he was 30 and poor Margaret would have been a young widow, that is so sad, perhaps another family took on her child.?
Thanks so very very much

Maybe the daughter from the Boardman marriage?

I thought that I had deleted this one - I did try to - as I am not so sure about it being the correct family. Margarets age is not right nor the place of birth

Moody Blue you are brilliant at this, It certainly makes sense that the child would go to Grandparents, So Robert must be Margaret Boardman nee Bell's Dad.

Just in case they may be useful........believe that they are Margaret Ann Bell's family.:

Thankyou, Yes i see what you mean about Boardman Child, the dates don't seem to match.. You are a star, thanks again for being so helpful, i am just deleting the relatives that are not mine from my tree. You are so clever at this.
Bright Blessings
Helen

Please dont be too hasty Helen .......you dont know for sure that we are on the right track yet! I would hate for you to find out that you were right in the first place and have to re do it all over again.

I have to go to bed now as I will never get up in the morning. I'll look in tomorrow.

Thankyou Brenda,
I have to go to bed also, I have a gut feeling about your findings, I think you were right about Bell being her maiden name. I have found an Elizabeth Boardman living with relatives and she is listed as niece, this could be Boardman Child. But like you say i won't be hasty, Many Many Thanks, Have lovely Dreams
