1841 Margaret = 25 (as swiss or swist)
1851 Margaret = 30

Think both born and living in Parr, Lancashire

Paul and Margaret Parr!!! married 1832 Farnworth Lancashire

and children

Any born between 1841-1851?  Names and birthyears please as 1841 children may have left home by 1861

What was Margaret's marital status in 1851.  If widowed - have you looked for possible re-marriage on freebmd?

Finally found them in 1851 and there is a 3yr old Margaret b Parr.  In 1861 she is indexed as First and is a servant not with her family

RG9 Piece 2749 Folio 29 Page 39

Margaret snr is a widow in 1851 so in the absence of an 1861 entry under Twist you need to consider the 1853 and 1858 marriages on freebmd in the Prescot RD

You can rule out both those marriages as both Margaret's were spinsters

Have you checked for a death on freebmd between 1851-1861 - couple of possibilities in the Prescot RD
