Possible death of Ellen ??

Deaths Dec 1881 (>99%)
Wood Ellen 56 Manchester 8d 199


Re the James and Margaret in 1901, that couple are both pedlars / hawkers.
Doesn't fit with 1881 occupations, never mind James's birthplace.

Mind you, "machine minder" in 1881 doesn't fit with "painter" at marriage the same year!

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

There are several James & Margaret Smith couples in later censuses, but not all POB's match, so far as I can see at the moment.
