AAARRRRGGHHHH! Same family giving me MORE grief! Mary Ann JEPSON married Edward FOSTER 3 April 1881. I believe this was the 1881 census night. I can't find these two ANYWHERE on the 1881 either with or without their parents, married names or whatnot! They were both living in Rotherham at the time and I think perhaps Mary Ann was born in Lincoln. Have done a search (wwell... about 10 searches) with no places of birth or regions selected and still haven't turned up a cracker! Is it time to admit defeat and say ... well i have their marriage certificate and to Hell with where they were that night?? Sonja in Oz
