Francis dickinson was the third son of my great great grandmother Jane Bland born 1836 at Flookburgh lancashire, she married Francis Dickinson senior born 1833 but he died just before francis's birth in 1865, Jane then married James butler, they are on the 1871 and 1881 census as living at flookburgh, but then the family move to Overton on the 1891 census and he has disappeared...how can i find out what happened to him? i've checked the Overton cemetry and Flookburgh but nothing??? regards angela
