Mary Walton born abt 1879 in Cockfield - Brickwall
« on: Wednesday 03 March 21 18:51 GMT (UK) »
I have been stuck with a bit of a brick wall when it comes to my great grandaunt Mary Walton. I am currently trying to find out either a marriage ( I'm unaware if she was ever married) or death date for her. She was born approx May 1879 in Cockfield Durham. Her parents were  William Walton and Margaret Stevens. I was able to find her on the 1891 census but no censuses after that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you checked for a death for her ? according to the 1911 census there were 5 children born alive and 1 died

I have checked for her death in the past. William and Margaret did lose their one daughter Ethel at the age of 1 but I have no idea what happened with Mary. I looked into the marriage with Thomas and found a 1911 census which I feel proves this is infact my great grandaunt. She had a son named William Walton Blenkinsop. Thank you both so much for the help this has definitely finally answered a lot of questions for me  :)
