Ellen Dawson born abt. 1863 Bolton
« on: Saturday 15 August 20 17:57 BST (UK) »
Could anyone find Ellen Dawson born abt.1863 in Bolton to James and Mary Dawson. She appears on the 1871 census in Bolton Union Workhouse with her Mother Mary [ nee Martin ] but I don't know where they went after. Ellen could have married but there are quite a few Ellen Dawsons. I could never find a Parish record for her birth either.
Many thanks

Thank you for that info. Her marriage if there was one would probably be around 1883 or after?

Possible births registered in Bolton District on Lancashire BMD
1862 Mary Ellen, mother's maiden surname WARDLE;        sub-district Farnworth
1863 Ellen,         mother's maiden surname MARTIN ;         sub-district Farnworth
1863 Ellen,            ''            ''            ''       WILLIAMSON;    ''      ''      Eastern Bolton
If you couldn't find a baptism, might they have been Non-Conformist? There were a lot of NC chapels in and around Bolton.
