having hit a complete brick wall with my great and 2x great grandmothers Annie and Ellen Jones I am now trying to find a fresh lead through her sister Mary Meigham, she would have been born Mary Jones around 1826 in Ireland and must have married sometime before or around 1847 to ______ Meigham as her daughter Margaret would have been born around 1847
Mary's husband must have died she was a widow and Mary, Margaret and Ellen must have moved to England before 1856 when Annie was born in Sunderland. I don't know if they are on the 1851 census for anywhere in England the only info I have is for the 1861 census
1861 census for 15 Spring Garden Lane Sunderland.
All b Ireland except Annie
Mary Meigham widow 35
Margaret daughter 14
Ellen Jones 26 sister unmarried
Annie Jones 5 niece b Sunderland
HO 107/2392
This is possibly Mary in 1881

Any info on Mary might hgive me the right idea where to look for Ellen, rumour has it the family came from Cork, but I cannot find a connection so far
