I may be on the wrong track but is the family in 1911?

If so the mmn of the children is Jones. Mary Ann and Amelia are in Dukinfield, Ashton under Lyne on the 1921 census with the Travis family. There is this death for Elizabeth.
Elizabeth Rogers 52
Dec 1918 Ashton under Lyne

Oh wow! Thank you so much, I think this may be the right lady, I will check with my friend and let you know as soon as I've spoken with her, thank you so much 😊🥰

Hi again, you say that the mothers maiden name of the children is Jones, do you mean that Elizabeth Rogers maiden name was Jones?
Where did you find the record of Elizabeths death please? Do you know if Elizabeth or any of her children were buried in Ashton, I was wondering if their graves may have been some of those recorded by the graves project 🤔  do you know where I could I see a copy of the 1921 census that the family are listed on that you mentioned please? Thank you again for your help, I'm very grateful and can't believe how quickly you found that great information for us xx

I've put the 1911 census on again to keep it all together. Records will need to be checked for confirmation, see what you think.

I'm having trouble finding the Bishop family in 1891

The 1921 census is on FindMyPast and costs £3.50 per image if you do not have a subscription. This is the free search info.
Dukinfield, Ashton under Lyne
Martha Ann Travis 1886 Rochdale
Mary Jane Travis 1913 Dukinfield
Violet Travis 1914 Dukinfield
Mary Ann Rogers 1897 Ruabon
Amelia Rogers 1904 Ruabon

I can't find another Rogers death in Ashton around 1918

Thank you so much, we will get a subscription to view the 1921 images and I will check all the ones you sent me but I am sure that this is exactly what we are looking for because we have seen something somewhere where two of her children are listed as bishop-Rodgers so we thought she must have been married before but we couldn't find anything about her marriages 😆 you are amazing, Thank you x

[Comberton]

I'm pleased it is useful info. If you do get a sub from FindMyPast, look at this offer, year costs £199.99 so maybe 3  months will do.

You can also search for free and just buy what you need. My sub ran out in February so now I use it for free search and then look on FamilySearch, also free.

Just one more quick question please 😊 where does the Travis link come in? Are they family members of Elizabeth’s children?
My friend and I both live in Australia now so finding it a little hard to do local research
Thank you again for all your help x

[Shazbaz]

Would you say find my past is the best one to join for searching England and Wales? My family come from Yorkshire so I would like to get a subscription that would be best for these places

I have had Ancestry and FindMyPast at various times and both are good, they both have the basics and certain other record sets. Here is a thread about an Ancestry offer and links to see what Yorkshire record sets each company has. Only FindMyPast has the 1921 census.

This looks like Martha Ann Travis in 1911, married 1912 to Samuel Travis. Amelia and Mary Ann are boarders in 1921.
