i am trying to find any info at all on the following sisters. Georgina Rose Horan born 1872 stockport - 1881 census stockport - married alfred baker in stockport in 1897. i have in 1901 census in Stockton on Tees.
Margaret Hannah Horan born 1867 in stockport - 1871 census in stockport - 1881 census in stockport - 1895 married robert severs smith - 1901 census stockton on tees. they appear to have a child named annie elizabeth smith born 1899
the parents of the above childres were Michael Horan and Ann Collins.

I see that Robert Margaret and Annie were all living with Georgina in 1901 - where was Georgina's husband Alfred then, did you find him?
Have you looked on www.middlesbrough-indexes.co.uk for possible births for their children? (I know Smith and Baker are fairly common names!) The staff at Stockton Register office are very helpful, perhaps you might try contacting them to find any children born 1901 onwards with mothers' maiden names Horan. Balaclava Street, Stockton-on-Tees TS18 2AL Tel: 01642 527720 Email: registrars [at] stockton.gov.uk (you need to substitute @ for [at])
Apart from trying to find later children from the marriages of the two sisters, do you have all the census info back to 1841 for Michael Horan/Ann Collins or do you need help with that too?
