Would some-one please look up Theoplilus Muir Twigg, born sept qtr 1862 at Barnsley. Parents are Charles Twigg and Ann. (I have got 1881, want to see if any other children born earlier).

Also could i have a look-up in 1871 for Mary Jane Oliver born March qtr 1860, Barnsley with her family. Mary Jane later married Theophilus in 1886.

Thank-you Teresa

Hi all.
Could some-one please look in 1861 for Oliver family. Would like to see where and when Thomas Oliver was born. I can't find a death for him either, although if the youngest child was 4 months on 1871 census, he must have died end of 1869 or beginning of 1870??
Sorry to be a nuisance. Teresa. :-S

Hi Margee.
Am thinking that EDWARD ATLOW who is in the household in 1871 census maybe is the father of Walter Henry!!!Don't you think.

Thank-you Margee.
I hadn't had a look at 1881 census, so didn't know about 2nd marriage.
Should not have assumed I suppose about Edward Atlow!!

I assumed the same thing, Teresa, that's why I looked at 1881 to see if she had married him.
