my elusive ancestors HELP

That's strange why there's no entry for Nellie,she appears on census records,

Not all that strange. In the early years of statutory registration it wasn't compulsory, so her parents may just have forgotten, or may not have bothered.

Or there might be an error in the index.

I just got the folder out for them,mables first husband died in 1901,

That could certainly explain why you can't find a marriage for Thomas Crumlish to Mabel Renwick or Schofield. But how can you be certain that the Thomas Schofield who died in 1901 was Mabel's ex (or more likely estranged) husband?

I can't find his death details but I know I did have them,what I did find in my records was the 1891 census for 26 chapel street berwick,it reads,
Henry(not Thomas) Schofield head aged 49,born alnwick
Mabel wife 46,shopkeeper,born alnwick
Mary daughter aged 18 born berwick
Nellie daughter aged 13 born berwick

1891 census has Thomas Crumlish living alone

1911 census has Thomas born in Londonderry

Looking at the ages on the 1861 census, Mary cannot be the mother of Thomas, so a 2nd marriage for William

Irish records have this possible baptism for Thomas

So Mabel left Thomas Crumlish went back to Henry/Thomas Schofield some time between 1881 and 1891?

If Nellie was aged 13 in 1891, she would have been born in 1877/1878, not 1873.

There is a birth of Ellen Schofield, Berwick 1877/Jun/10b/426 mmn Renwick.

I think you need to see some of those birth certificates!

Illustrated Berwick Journal 30 July 1859 has this irregular marriage:

At Lamberton Toll, July 27, Henry Schofield, three weeks resident in Glasgow, to Mabel Renwick, both of Alnwick.

William
