Hi, I'm looking for info on Ellen Durkin, born in Bolton1875. Her parents were Thomas Durkin,born c1839 in Ireland and Ann Barlow, born c1850 in Dudley,(Staffordshire?as on 1891 census). Siblings were: Mary b1869, Bilston,Staffs Bridget b1870,Bolton,Lancs Annie b1872, Bolton,Lancs Benjamin b1875,Bolton,Lancs I haven't been able to find Ellen on any of the census records. She married to Richard Scholes in 1895 and then appears as Ellen Scholes in the1901 census. Thomas Durkin died in 1879 and I think that Ellen and her family may have gone to live with relatives in Ireland. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks
