	Sylvia! Another Canadian who uses the expression "telling porkies"? My French Canadian grandaughters think it's so funny when I ask them if they're telling porkies. Margaret

	Is this Esther on the 1881 Census?? Name: Esther Pegler Age: 13 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1868 Relation: Daughter Mother's Name: Alice Gender: Female Where born: Leeds, Yorkshire, England Civil Parish: Woodchester County/Island: Gloucestershire Country: England Street address: Southfields Education: Employment status: View Image Occupation: Scholar Registration district: Stroud Sub-registration district: Rodborough ED, institution, or vessel: 1 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Elizabeth Berkely 74 Sarah Neale 72 Alice Pegler 33 Esther Pegler 13 Florence Pegler Henry J. Pegler 15 If so, she does NOT appear on the 1891 ............ which makes it feasible that Margaret has found her already living with Alfred. The marriage registration is 1893, and there is not another Sparrow/Pegler marriage, or Sparrow marriage, so it does look as though they might have been living together. They might have got married just before or just after the first child was born! sylvia
