Charles       circa 1889
Margaret E  Circa  1894
Harold        circa   1899


From the GRO index,  Were you using phonetically similar variations in the surname boxes  :-\

CONNOR, CHARLES       mmn MCLENNON 
1889  March Quarter in WIGAN  Volume 08C  Page 53

CONNOR, MARGARET  EVELYN     mmn MCLENNON 
1893  June Quarter in WIGAN  Volume 08C  Page 81

CONNOR, HAROLD       mmn MCLENNON 
1899  June Quarter in WIGAN  Volume 08C  Page 139

LancashireBMD also has all three of those registrations

Amazing.....  I thought I had tried every which way on the GRO...

Thanks heaps

I wonder if anyone can find a record for Margaret Evelyn coming to Australia.  Probably into Sydney...

 I am thinking its Margaret Evelyn now with George Henry Vesty....She and George died in Casterton in Victoria Australia  in  1939 for George and 1945 for Margaret Evelyn


Cheers and Many Many thanks for the help.

Problem is I can't find a death in the right time period for a John Mclennon. You really need Mary Ann's marriage certificate which would give you father's name & occupation. The witnesses could also be helpful.
