Margaret Drain was born in 1871 in Shap,
Is this Shap in Penrith Cumberland - or somewhere else?
Hi Carole yes Shap is Cumberland - or rather it used to be West Ward, Westmorland. apparently!
In 1891 she is transcribed as Maggie Drave, head of household Robert Gardiner b 1839 on Ancestry,no actual image though.

Hi Cathy, that's not her, she was definitely in Kirkcudbright, I've been chatting to my cousin, and we've found her together... including her marriage in 1900. Once I had the marriage date, other records started popping up on Ancestry, or perhaps it's just a glitch yesterday - who knows
Could you tell us where William Taylor living in 1881 and if possible the piece and folio number that you have? Sometimes entering as little information as possible gets better results on Ancestry.

Hi Mo,
This is what I have for William Taylor, I am strugling with his birth and that of his wife, though I do have her death certificate. I bought her birth certificate but am now convinced it isn't the correct one...
Name: Wm Taylor
Age (Original): 27
Gender: Male
Birth Year: 1854
Birthplace: Manchester, Lancashire, England
Relationship to Head of Household: Head
Marital Status: Married
Occupation: Glass Blower
Address: 329a Oldham Rd
Event Place: Newton, Lancashire, England
Record Type: Household
Affiliate Publication Number: RG11
Piece/Folio: 4009 / 87

Other household members are:
Sarah Ann Taylor Wife F 24 Hulme, Lancashire, England
Emily Taylor Daughter F 7 Salford, Lancashire, England
Thos Edward Taylor Son M 2 Newton Heath, Lancashire, England
Edward Taylor Cousin M 10 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England
Emily is my Great Grandmother (mum's mum's mum) so direct female line. her birth certificate states her mother is Sarah Ann maiden name ROTHBOURNE. I mistakenly bought birth certificate for Sarah Ann Rathbone, but following the census gives a different life path for each.
