Many thanks for your replies. 
Yes it is the same family. 
I was trying to take it further back than William. 
Marriage and birth of William and then parents..

Many thanks for your help  :)

So interesting.

Is it possible they got married in 1874?  ???

This looks like the correct family. 
As it is his daughter Ann Dixon I am following.  And a couple of generations below Ann, there is a middle name if Molyneux

Thankyou 😊

Hi
I have found an ancestor William Dixon on census records.

I would like to find a marriage and baptism and possibly take it back to his parents

I have him on the 1861 census living with wife Ellen  and 5 children.

They are in West Derby
Household schedule number 48
Piece 2703
Folio 66
Page 7

Many thanks for any further info on this person
Sara  :)

The Common Room / finding Ellen's parents
« on: Monday 12 February 24 22:32 GMT (UK)  »
hi

I have an ancestor called Ellen Molyneux Roberts at birth.  I have found her birth in 1875 and on her baptism record (1876) her parents are Thomas Roberts and Ann Roberts.

I have found them in the 1881 census where Ellen is 5 and with two younger siblings William and Thomas. (piece 3644, folio 88, page 44)

I can also find Ellen in the 1911 census as she marries John James Howard in 1903.

I am struggling from here.  I cannot locate her in 1891 and 1901.  There is a servant in 1891 age 15 called Ellen Roberts but I would never know if this was her.

More importantly and to get to the point...... I can't get any further with her parents Thomas and Sarah.  In the Liverpool area there are lots of Thomas Roberts marrying someone called Ann.  I suppose the way forward is to order the birth cert for Ellen?

Any help appreciated in taking this line further back than I have here

Many thanks

Hi
I am getting back into my research after a loooooong break.

Used to use FTM but it won't open on my computer.  Anyhow, I have downloaded the RootsMagic essentials to try. 

Is it possible to print out one huge family tree using this software - or if i purchase the full version.  Unsure whether to purchase FTM again or try RootsMagic. 

I did search but couldn't find this answer

Many thanks

This is what I had thought!

It is the correct Ida, as she married John Fothergill, which is info I have been told so thank you for that.  That’s my Nana’s eldest sister! (Half sister)

Thankyou all did the help
