Hi - 1871 census shows Margaret, born in Abram with sisters Jan 7, Cornelius 6 and Elizabeth 1. Parents are Samuel 27 and Ellen 27.

1881, Jane is 17, Cornelius 16 (states Margaret was born in Leigh) - they are living in Failsworth together with further siblings Esther 9, Mary 7, Samuel 6, David 3 and Ada 1 month.

1891 she is not there - nor is Cornelius who is living with his wife Elizabeth and children.

Cornelius and family emigrated as did Margaret's sisters Mary and Ada ni January 1900 and ended up in Connecticut.

Where did Margaret Ellen go?

Phil

Thank you
