Hello rosie. Sorry, only just seen your latest post.
Both my g grandmother and gg grandmother died shortly after the 1891 census, my g grandmother Hannah Bella Swindells on the 13th April,1892 age 28, and her mother, Mary died 23rd June 1892, again surname Swindells and age 59. Hannah Bella of TB and Mary chronic bronchitis.
My grandmother, Mary Ellen born April 1887 would have been 5 years old and she was apparently taken on by a Frederick Joseph Ohara and his wife, not sure when though. I had wondered if William Edward went the same way if his mother had abandoned him.
Until I became interested in family history we actually thought my grand mother was Mary Ellen Ohara and so were unable to find a marriage. My mother's birth certificate was the short version and did not give her mother's maiden name. Cheers. kiwigeoff.
Thanks for your continued interest.
