	Good Morning Jen, MANY THANKS FOR THE 1891 CENSUS..Yes that is my Maggie....one of the helpers on Genes found Maggie in the 1901 census a few days ago..Maggie was married to Ernest Betts but was listed Margaret Graham and so was her children but registered Graham Betts ..Graham could have been her stage name.....the 1871 census is under the name Shipton her birth name (parents or father deceased in 1877) 1881 census listed under Jenkins her carer Benjamin and Catherine Jenkins and Catherine her Aunt..1891 census listed under the name of Jenkins...1901 census listed under the name of Graham and the 1910 census would be listed under the name of Parsey ...so I am very grateful to you and the Genes Helpers for locating two very difficult census...the surnames that I had were family folklaw so it has been just great to put the names together...The manager of the vocal group was Harry Graham..Harry and Ernest Betts could be the same person this I dont know... Much appreciated Allan

	Genes reunited found my Grandmother in the 1901 census yesterday, I would like to locate her in the 1891 census..the information that I have is= Born Margaret Shipton 1869 Manchester Lancashire...married in 1895 to Ernest Betts.. Margaret Shipton was under the surname name of her carer in the 1881 census that is Margaret Shipton Jenkins..her carer being Benjamin and Catherine Jenkins....Her occupation was a vocalist which involved travelling around....her threatre surname could be Graham(e) I feel that she was not using her married name Betts .... so I am looking for a 1891 census in the surname of Margaret Ann Shipton/Jenkins/Graham/Betts. Thank you
