Can anyone advise me on how to trace two sisters, Annie Moorhouse c1867 born sheffield area and Sarah Moorhouse c1869, I cannot trace them after 1871. Their parents were Walter Moorhouse 1843 born Rotherham and Mary Norborn 1844 born Eccleshall Bierlow. There were two other siblingsRobert Moorhouse who married Ann Olleronshaw and Lydia Moorhouse who married Alfred Whitaker.

Thank you for all your hard work. It could be the case that the family were scattered if Walter died at thirty.

Sorry but no link.
