	I can't find any record of this family in Morpeth in 1891 or anywhere else for that matter.

Member Since: January 2003 Posts: 6 Send Message	Thanks to everyone , I I've got more possibilties to search for now thank you! Susan you've given the same details as I have for 1881 census which match a birth cert we've got so I think my next step will be to try and get death cert for details you suggest to see if a match? We know Christiana and the children were definitly in Morpeth cos we know where the house is but not why they moved there from Hull. Once again thank you to all and good luck with your own searching.
