Julie, Not having much luck so far - here's a few possibles for 1901 George Ellis 19 Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England Head Shrewsbury St Mary Shropshire Mary J Ellis 19 Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England Wife Shrewsbury St Mary Shropshire Charles Ellis 17 Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England Son-in-law St Chad Shropshire Elizabeth Ellis 22 Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England Daughter-in-law St Chad Shropshire Job Ellis 13 St Chad Shropshire Edwin Palmer 58 Much Wenlock, Shropshire, England Head St Chad Shropshire Margaret Palmer 52 Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England Wife St Chad Shropshire Emma p.s. It def. says daughter in law next to Elizabeth - any chance that this is Margaret Ellis remarried?

I do beleive that Margaret Ellis re-married, although not 100% sure. Why would the children be 'in laws', as they are still Margaret's children. Don't really understand, do you?

Julie, If Margaret's husband completed the census form then they would both be son and daughter in law (sometimes used in law instead of "step" on these old forms) - which is probably what happened (if it's them). Have you tried looking on Freebmd to see if you can find a marriage for Margaret Ellis and Edwin Palmer? Emma x
