Hi all Have also thought she might have walked out for some reason. Will look at that death Val although Gateshead is a reg district in its own right I guess she could have been away somewhere. I'm not sure I'll ever find out what happened to her. Thanks to everyone who has looked - least I know its not me just missing her. Jacqui

Hi Jacqui, What about this death Deaths Sep 1868 Lowery Margaret age 43 Durham 10a 219 Joseph may have just been mistaken for being married on the 1871 census. Val

Hi Val i was wondering that after the birth of her last child in 1862 she and her husband just decided to seperate or maybe she walked out and left him for this other man, could this be a possibility? Kaz

Hi I thought of she might have remarried but Jacqui says that she has her Joseph in the 1871 census... I have tried all different names such as Sowery, Dowery etc haven't found her. Val
