Would someone be kind enough to look up the following 2 families on the 1891, details I have given are approximate ages in 1891. Joseph Morris 58 born Westhoughton, Lancs. Coalminer. Ann Morris 52 Wife born Manchester. Silk Weaver. Alice Morris 33 Dau born Atherton. Margaret Morris 29 Dau born Atherton. Sara Ann Morris 26 Dau born Atherton. All living at 119 Market Street, Atherton, Lancs in 1881 - I dont expect the daughters are still at home but gave them just in case. John Speakes 25 born Whitchurch, Salop - General Labourer. Annie Speakes 29 wife born Apex Gates, Salop. John Speakes 4 son born Whitchurch, Salop. Fanny Speakes 1 Dau born Whitchurch, Salop. No address for this family as they were living at 19 Smethurst Street, Bolton, Lancs in 1901 and it looks like they were probably still in Salop as the youngest child was born there. Thank you, Maggie
