Thanks to the GRO search facility I now know:

BUTTERWORTH, MARGARET  ELIZABETH     (m.m.n. - BURNETT)
GRO Reference: 1877  J Quarter in WEST DERBY & TOXTETH PARK  Volume 08B  Page 223
(she married on 11 Oct 1896 at Toxteth, St Matthew, Lancashire - to Robert (son of Thomas) Foster

NB:
BUTTERWORTH, MARY  ELLEN     (m.m.n. - WILLIAMS) 
GRO Reference: 1876  D Quarter in WEST DERBY & TOXTETH PARK  Volume 08B  Page 262


Now all I need is to find out what happened to the mother, Margaret Butterworth (nee Burnett) who in 1881 is living at 23 Court 1 House (next to 59 Mann Street)

Her husband William Butterworth appears to have died in the workhouse and was buried on 30 March 1891 at Toxteth Park Cemetery, Lancashire (section 7, grave 315)

The search continues!

Yes good question   

Have you found any of the children in 1891 census? 

There may have been more children born between 1881-1891 that may help trace Margaret. 

[plimmerian]

just going through them and don't appear to find them as yet!

[Milliepede]

No me neither 

Just wondering if any other children were born after 1881 we could find. 

Possible James born 1885 Toxteth Park.

Baptism 25 Oct 1885 for a James with parents William a dock labourer & Margaret

It's not helping is it 

Margaret could have married again but hardly before 1891 census as William had only just died. 

[plimmerian]

Could they have been waiting on a ship to leave and then changed their minds and came home! lol 

[Milliepede]

Anything is possible but there are marriages for some of the children in the 1890's and they appear with spouses in 1901.  Haven't found Margaret with any of them.  What a puzzle.
