I live in the US and am confused as to how to locate a relative on the 1891 census. I am looking for MUSETTE DAY, she was born 26 Feb 1890 but it is listed as: Lancashire, Yorkshire - West Riding. Can someone help me locate this family? She married a William Cumpstey, but I haven't found out if it was in England or US. They were in Meriden CT USA in 1917, but I can't find a marriage in either country.

Thank you so much Tati, I have been looking for quite some time and thought with such an unusual first name I would have had better luck. This is the first time posting on this board and I am thrilled. ~ Judy

Wow that's wild! So the Henry age 72 living with them in 1891 must be Alice's father, as John's father is William Day. Thank-you so much for going the extra mile. I don't want to impose, but I seem to be on a roll here and don't want to let it slip away. Is there any way to find a marriage for Musette and William Cumpstey(b. 1890 Blackburn), between 1911 when they would have been of full age and 1917 when they show up in the US as married?

Thank-you so much for giving the marriage a try, I really appreciate it. I have fond memories of this couple. Actually they were my mother's Aunt & Uncle, but because my real grandfather died before my mother was born, my "Uncle Bill (his brother) & Aunt Heddy (Musette) stepped into the role as "parent/grandparent". So I do appreciate your efforts, Thanks ~ Judy
