Member Since: July 2007 Posts: 37 Send Message	Sorry I am very slow at typing. Thanks Neil that looks like them Unless they went back I don't they would be on the UK 1901. But you never know. Thanks Margaret Lynn

Member Since: July 2007 Posts: 37 Send Message	Hi Neil Thanks for that. I had seen that although the two children I have are two girls Mary & Ciceley, I realise that they could have been missing from this census but ancestry.com is throwing up 6 records which unfortunately I cannot access, except part of the one I mentioned, and I am trying to find if anything ties my Margaret & John to the one stated in Salt Lake. Also just spotted that two of the records state the death records for 1945 of Margaret West Littlefair ( West was her maiden name) So it may well have been after 1891 they all went to USA Lynn

	They're also on the 1901 UK census although Margaret isn't with the family, it doesn't say widower for John, says married.

Member Since: July 2007 Posts: 37 Send Message	Is there anyone who could help with info regarding Margaret Littlefair (nee West) husband John Littlefair. Born Durham England c. 1858. They are on the 1881 census in England but not 1891. I think I have the record for 1900 US Fed Census in Salt Lake City, but I'd like to know if it is the same family, when they left England and if there is any other info available. Thankyou
