Who are the possible spouses?

Look for her with either surname in 1901 census...............

You will know when and where she was born..........

Can't see her 1911.

Thank you for that I thought that might have hapened
Couldn't find any of them in 1911 but Thomas could have remarried

Just in passing:

Births Mar 1899 (>99%)
Ellison Margaret Louisa Birkenhead 8a 521

If you want to pursue this family, might be an idea to get the death cert for Margaret and see who registered it?

So wonder if they ended up in Scotland for the 1911 census but you would need Scotlandspeople to answer that and not a subscription site
