Hi everyone, I'm looking for the family of:
Margaret Trotter b leitrim Ireland.
Margaret aged 22yrs m Enoch Beeley aged 21yrs 1877 in Dukinfield.
I'm not sure when she came to England from Ireland and even if her family came too.(could have been during the Famine).
Although her father on the marriage cert was John Trotter occupation Mason. She is shown as living at the same address as Enoch in High St Dukinfield.
Could someone check both the 1861 and 1871 census for Margaret's family for me please?
Thanx in advance of any help :)

Hi Tati Thanx.
Are there any Trotter witnesses at the marriage?
(No only Reuben Beeley & James Crooks).
I think you may have the right family though.....
Margaret's occupation on the cert is 'Frame Tenter'
Her father's occupation is 'Mason' (John could have been his second name and the one he was known by. As he has named two of his sons both Gerrard and John).
Also Enoch and Margret's eldest daughter was named Margaret Jane.
Thanx again I will look in to the information a little further
??? :) :) :)
