I've looked in Scotland censuses...in 1841 the census says Benjamin and Thomas born out of county, Ireland or Scotland.

Wonder if the children Mary, Alice and Joseph were sent back to either of these places?

hi lin ,
since my last reply, ive been trolling through the death records, using all types of name variations, but no luck at all.
i think gillian is more than likely right, and for some reason her death was not registered.
good luck,
alan

Suzanne,
No, they weren't sent back to Ireland. Alice Corbett married John Fell in Wigan in 1867, she named her first son after husband John, her second son was named after her father, Thomas, and her first daughter she named Jane, after her mother. - by 1891 the census shows Alice living in Heaton Norris, near Stockport - she went back to her roots, I suppose.

Alan, I agree with you - it looks as if Gillian hit the nail on the head. It does seem that Jane's death was never registered.

Thank you for looking/searching for me, your help is much appreciated.

Lin.
