Ah thank you - perhaps the problem was I had her birth place as Runcorn. Does she appear in other census returns? Did she have children?

Hi there,

This is related to a thread which I have been helped with. I am much appreciative of this help but have a few more specific points to ask for and I was concerned they may be lost on the previous thread, which is this one here:

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1333095

Firstly, can I have a look up in all of the census returns for Catherine 'Kitty' Fallows, born Catherine Woods in 1828 in Runcorn, Cheshire and wife of Samuel Fallows ... I THINK this is her death but I couldn't find her on the 1881 census:

Surname First name(s) Age District Vol Page
Deaths Jun 1913 (>99%)
Fallows Catherine 87 Runcorn 8a 294 Scan available - click to view

Also, her much younger brother, John Woods, born 1850 in Runcorn, Cheshire ... I am only looking for him in the 1911 census with his wife Mary. In 1901 he had children John, Jane and Harriet (born 1897, 1899 and 1900 respectively).

Thank you in advance!
