You're very welcome, but I'd order Margaret's M/C to get her father's name to cross ref with the 2 1911 families.
Good luck :-D

Just looking at the first family, in 1901 William is down as a widow, living with BIL , with Harry 4 and William 5mths

poss for 2nd marr?? ( poss mother to Margaret ? )


Marriages Jun 1902 (>99%)
Cullen Mary Prescot 8b 1019
Foster William Prescot 8b 1019
Wilkinson John Samuel Prescot 8b 1019
Williamson Elizabeth Prescot 8b 1019

Just looked on the 1911 census image for the first family posted, it has for Harry ( from 1st marriage ) and that William & Mary had been married for 9 yrs so that marriage above should be the one. If this is the correct family.
