Thank you ArgyllGran, I had reached similar conclusions to yourself but I hadn't seen Margaret H E death. Her elder sister Mary Jane also died, at age 9.

Just to complete the set -
William & Mary Ann in 1861:

At first I thought this was the birth and death of the daughter Hannah, as the DOB fits with her being 9 months in 1861 census:

Margaret Hannah Emma Woolham
in the West Yorkshire, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1910
Name: Margaret Hannah Emma Woolham
Birth Date: 12 Jun 1860
Parish: Bradford, St Peter (Bradford Cathedral)
Baptism Date: 4 Jul 1860
Father: William Woolham
Mother: Mary Ann Woolham



Margaret H E Woolham
in the England & Wales, FreeBMD Death Index, 1837-1915
Name: Margaret H E Woolham
Estimated birth year: abt 1860
Registration Year: 1879
Registration Quarter: Oct-Nov-Dec
Age at Death: 19
Registration district: Bradford
Inferred County: Yorkshire West Riding
Volume: 9b
Page: 84


Looking again at the 1871 posted earlier by Margee, the Margaret H in the transcription, is actually Margaret H E on the image - but the age is given as 15, when she should be 10 or 11.

So I think the age on 1871 census is wrong, and that Margaret H E is the Hannah in 1861,as well as the Emma in 1871, as the birth and death records agree with her age in 1861.

I think the crossed out Emma in the line below Margaret is a repeat entry for her, as she may have been known by her middle name of Emma.

Similarly, George F in 1871 is actually George F A, so he will be the Arthur who has been crossed out in the line below.

Thank you safc and Margee - I have never seen the Christian name Tolson before!

Plus I have just seen your post Andy - trying to slip it in under my radar ?

I don't know why they list them as lodgers when it should be daughter and son-in-law but I've seen it done that way quite often.

Apologies safc for not acknowledging your post, I think the cold must still be effecting my mental performance!

Thank you Margee, the little grey cells must have been short of coffee this morning when I looked at the 1851 census. I recognised that the newly weds and their children were lodgers but the fact they were Mary Ann's family didn't register - sorry

Thomas is still alive on the 61 census:

Andy

I have been trying to find Mary Ann Woolhams (nee Poole) birth in IGI without success and I wondered whether she specified a place of birth in the 1851 census please and was her father, Thomas Poole - Sadler still alive in that census?

Thank you Margee, Dea and Andy, mystery solved and the extra siblings found.

I was busy replying to Andy;s post on one of my other threads!
