Missing Parents

[Now Listen Here.]

Thomas Cummings was born 1876 in Holme or Farleton, Westmorland
Annie Cummings born 1874 in Holme, Westmorland
Their parents were Thomas and Mary Ann Cummings.

On the 1881 census Thomas b 1876  and Annie b 1874 are living with their cousin James Croasdale a farmer and wood merchant in Colton,Lancashire.

On the 1891 census Thomas Cummings b 1876 is still living with cousin James Croasdale at Haverthwaite Farm Colton ,Lancashire;- No  sign of Annie

On the 1901 census Thomas is married to Emily, they have a farm in Greenodd, Lancashire.


Why are Thomas and Annie living with their cousin?

Does anyone know anything about their parents - Thomas and Mary Ann Cummings?
I can’t find a trace of Thomas and Mary Ann Cumming anywhere.


Thanks

There is possible death registration for Mary Ann Cummings.

Dec 1877 Kendal, 10b/402
Mary Ann Cummings, age 28

Possibly Thomas just couldn't cope with bringing his children up?
