Could this be our Joseph Dickinson?

Willyam,

St. John's Church, Broughton, Salford. 16 July 1917. Joseph - Railway fireman of 4 Hillon/Hilton St. Margaret, widow, waitress of same address.

Interesting that her deceased father, George Lowe, had been a railway employee.

It may just be me but, as well as not finding Joseph, I cannot also find Margaret in the 1911 census - who was seemingly not residing with her son at that time.

Additionally, a search for 4 Hilton Street in Lower Broughton St Clement only brings up an entry within the 1911 summary sheet but not also the detailed return itself.

My interpretation of the summary entry, which is listed under the name of a Mr Halstead, is that with 10 persons in residence [7 females & 3 males] it might have been a rooming house - which could explain why Joseph & Margaret later both cited no. 4 as their place of residence on their wedding day.

Regrettably the absence of the 1911 census return might imply that it has not survived.

Hopefully someone with a more expert eye than I may be able to establish otherwise.

Willyam,
Thank you for those details, very interesting.  I, too, could not find 1911 details for either of them.

The 1911 page is there.
4 Hilton Street is the Halstead family so not a rooming house at that time.

Not sure if this will help find her 1911 - did her first husband William die 1905?

William Tennant of 35 Arrow Street Lower Broughton Salford salesman
died 15 February 1905, Administration Manchester 23 March to widow Margaret

EDIT to add

Sorry Margaret not at that address in 1911 - the Owens family at no 35

Are there any electoral rolls on line for this area?
