Plews / Bowman families

[erinmore1]

Hi Christine

That was the record that led me to Ernest and Margaret. I have no idea why Samuel is not mentioned anywhere except Margarets death notice.

Unfortunately my grandparents were very tight-lipped where their families were concerned so it's been hard trying to find anything at all.

Where did the information of the birth place (Constable Burton)  for Margaret come from?

Was it from this census in 1881? if so this could be the daughter of James and Barbara Plews:

Is this your Margaret in the 1891 census (birth place only recorded as Yorkshire):

There is this marriage:

Marriages Dec 1867 
ATKINSON    John William P        Ripon    9a   118    
HUTCHINSON    Phillis         Ripon    9a   118    
Plews    Robert         Ripon    9a   118     <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
TERRY    Margaret         Ripon    9a   118     <<<<<<<<<<<<<<

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<and possibly this couple in the1871 census:

Possibly your Margaret started life with a different surname and Plews was her stepfathers name

This is the other couple in 1871 just to verify who married who:

and a birth reg for their daughter:
ATKINSON, MARGARET  PHILLIS      mothers maiden name HUTCHINSON     
GRO Reference: 1869  D Quarter in RIPON  Volume 09A  Page 70

The1891 census is the one I took as my Margaret as it was the only one with Harry and Ernest. I can't remember at the moment what led me to Leyburn, Constable Burton. It was on a free weekend on Ancestry. I'll try and find the record again.
