Hi, I can't find my G Grandmother Margaret Jane Tipping on the 1911 census. She was born in Toxteth Park, so I assumed that she would be there.
She was born in 1885 and had a sister called Elizabeth (1889), their parents were Frederick Tipping (1865 - 1897) and Josephine Tipping (nee Lezart - 1867). In 1891 they were all living at 47 Northumberland Street, Toxteth Park.
In 1898 a year after Frederick died, Josephine married Douglas Charles Stuart Murdoch in West Derby, Liverpool. I found Margaret on the 1901 census as a visitor to her mother's home in Crompton, Manchester. There is no mention of Elizabeth on this census.
Josephine and Douglas have 3 children of their own on this census. I have absolutely no idea where Margaret usually lived, or how long she hadn't been living with her mother. Seems impossible to find Elizabeth on this census (1901) too.
I thought that Margaret lived in Toxteth Park her whole life, she married and brought up her children there. She died in 1962 at Newsham General Hospital, residing at Tunnel Road at the time of death.
When I have tried to input information on the 1911 census I keep hitting a brick wall. Thought that Eliabeth may have got married and that, Margaret might have been staying with her sister and brother in-law. Found lots of Elizabeth Tippings getting married, but not in Liverpool.
Not finding either sister. V V frustrating
How can I be accurate in inputting information when I don't know where she lived? I wanted the census to tell me this!!!
Can an expert help please
Thank you

PS Margaret married John Marshall Potts in St. Clement, Toxteth Park in 1915. He was living with his parents at the time of the census, so this is not an option. Have looked for Josephine and Douglas in Crompton, but, don't know any streets there so I can't get anywhere. Tried just looking in Crompton without inputting street names and nothing comes up.
