1891:-

Alfred Roscoe abt 1844 Stockport, Lancashire, England Head Little Bolton, Lancashire
(Foundry Manager)

Phoebe Roscoe abt 1849 Winston, Lancashire, England Wife Little Bolton, Lancashire

Emma Roscoe abt 1873 Winston, Lancashire, England Daughter Little Bolton, Lancashire

Emma was a pupil at Teacher School, so the 1891 census for Frank is probably correct as he is noted as being a teacher too.

Hello Catherine
This is amazing! It is only during the last four weeks or so I discovered that Margaret Elizabeth Davies (my great grandmother dob: 1873 born Heaton Norris/Moor) whom I have been searching for nearly 4 years had married. I discovered this after finding her mother's (Jane Davies) death and sent for a certificate. Margaret (my great grandmother) was the informant on the certificate with the surname Roscoe. No wonder I couldn't find her! All the information you provided me with fits in with everything I have. I really cannot thank you enough).

Many thanks
Jean
