The 1901 census has been given to you; the address is 24, Rigg Street, Carlisle Caldewgate, Carlisle.

To prove the census information is your family, you will need to purchase her birth certificate using the details from the registration that you have found.

I'm trying to solve a mystery and have hit a brick wall.

My grandmother, Margaret Ann Watson, b. 1897 Apr quarter in Carlisle, Cumberland and died in 1982 as Margaret Roberts (married to Henry Roberts, b.1896) in Carlisle...

I do not know who her parents were and don't seem to be able to find out! We know she had the following siblings:
Jane c1893
Elizabeth c1895
Richard c1900 all born in Carlisle.

The problem is, my dad used to talk about "Aunt Bella", who was also one of his mother's sisters, Isabella, but I can't find her anywhere! She apparently married someone with the possible surname of Stewart who was something to do with the Mayor of Carlisle, but i don't know anything else!

Could anybody possibly offer any information on any of the people listed here from census/birth/marriage records and would anybody be able to solve the mystery of who the parents of these people were? I've been at this all day, drained many credits and my brain just won't function anymore!

Thank you soooo much!
