You haven't given any details of his birthyear or birthplace or his 1891 occupation?

If Margaret was living with her daughter  - was this in 1891?  If so - was William with her or is she shown as married/widowed?

Have you checked the 1891 census for William - where was he living at that time

margaret was living at cannes mill west newton in 1891,william wasnt with her then or when she died,i presumed that he must have been working away,she was living with her parents,her niece and her daughter,it was her niece that was the informant of her death.Margaret and william were married december 1885,she was 21 he was 39.William was born 1846 grt tosson,{rothbury}he was a farmer,there is a william english on the 1891 census at south charlton listed as a farmer,i cant make out the family he is living with but it looks like rennik or bennet

Re: 1891 entry - what is his marital status as Margaret was still alive then.  Have you looked on the 1901 for that person?

William was born 1846 grt tosson,{rothbury

Where did you get his birthplace from?

When was their daughter born?
