I couldn't spot Marion after 1861, have you looked at her birth to see who her parents were?

Hi Derek,
Thank you for the conformation and Site information.
Looking at the marriage of Georgina Kellock her Mother was Margaret Kirk her father is John Kellock who appears in 51 & 61 to be living with his parents Robert & Elizabeth Kellock which looks like west Morton St. I am not sure where he is after this.

I Haven't a clue where John Poole fits in to this family!

I did find a marriage for William Kirk & Janet Maxwell 1865 so maybe this is where Marion fits in.
On the 1861 census can you tell me if it gives Marion's Birth place as Calton?

Any chance of a look up for Marion after 1861 also John Poole after 1881?

Thank you
Alison
