As far as I know Mabel was married to Thomas Schofield before she met Thomas crumlish,I seem to remember Thomas died,I am going to have to get my records out that I put away about 5 years ago,my memory is not as good as it used to be

There are no Cr*m*l* births registered in Berwickshire in the 19th century.

According to the GRO web site the following are registered in Alnwick
James Schofield 1862/Sep/10b/296 mmn Renwick
Thomas Schofield 1864/Dec/10b/297 mmn Renwick

and in Berwick
Mary 1869/June/10b/355 mmn Renwick
Mary 1871/Dec/10b/334 mmn Renwick
Susannah 1880/Mar/10b/380 mmn Renwick

The 1871 census lists in Chapel Street, Berwick
Thomas Crumlish, 26, born Ireland
Mabel Crumlish, wife, born Alnwick
James Schofield, son, 7, born Alnwick
Thomas Schofield, son, 5, born Alnwick
Ann Crumlish, daughter, 2 born Berwick

Neither the GRO nor FreeBMD appears to have a listing for the birth of Nellie/Hel(l)en in 1871-1875.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

That's strange why there's no entry for Nellie,she appears on census records,I just got the folder out for them,mables first husband died in 1901,I dont have a death certificate but I do for Thomas crumlish,he died 8th February 1913 at 20 chapel street berwick,his son in law James Lyons was the informant, Thomas was 68 years old when he died
