Can anyone find a marriage for a Robert Howson born in 1869 and a Margaret (possibly Dickinson) born in 1876 in the lancashire area please? |

The reason I presumed that it was dickinson is because that is the middle name of their first born daughter. Agnes(dickinson) Howson born 1892. Do you ever get the feeling of giving up!!!! Agnes was my grandfather christoper's sister he was born 1904 if that helps! |

What makes you think Robert married Margaret? The 1901 census has Robert Dickinson as the head and Margaret Howson as his lodger. Agnes's middle name could well come from him. |

According to my cousin on my grandfather christopher's birth certificate it has Margaret Howson and Robert Howson as his parents he was born in 1904 in Lancaster, other than that I have no information *cries*! |

I think someone has been telling porkies somewhere or got their wires crossed. On the 1901, 1891 and 1881 censuses, Margaret is Margaret Howson and is unmarried. |

if they have the birth certificate for Christopher it should have the mother maiden name on that. |

And so ends my search on my grandad then!! Oh well thanks for all your help I thought it was possible she was unmarried as it doesnt show a father for any of the children on FamilySearch neither. |

Its quite possible that Robert Dickinson was the father although I don't suppose you will ever be able to prove it one way or the other. You could wait for the 1911 census, she could have married him by then! |
