Hi,
I am trying to track down the family of Margaret Fell.(1850-1880). Her father was Peter Fell (c1823-1870). Her sister was Agnes Fell (1855-1878). I think they came from Scotland. Margaret married Edward Edwards in 1872 at St Elphin's Church, Warrington, Cheshire.( my Great Grandfather) and lived and died in Runcorn. She is buried in Runcorn Cemetery.
I have her in the 1871 census as living in Bold Lancashire.
I cannot find the family in the 1861 census or the 1851 one.
Any leads would be most welcome.
Thanks

I think they came from Scotland.
1871 census for both Agnes and Margaret states quite clearly, born in Scotland! ;D
The census you have been looking up is ONLY for England & Wales, so you must look at the Scotland's People website for further information.

Thanks for the interest.. I posted on different parts of the site as the family lived in different parts of the country. I have tried Scottish people many times with no luck.. also am a member of Ancestry.com and no luck there.. I just wondered if anyone else was interested in the family. Agnes had a family as well as Margaret.. just a thought.... again... thanks for the interest... one day I will find the link..
Regards
Margaret
