I have been searching for Mary Wilkinson on the 1891 census. She was born in Keighley in 1834 as Mary Carrodus. She was married to Tattersall Wilkinson and was living with him from their marriage in 1855 until sometime in the 1880's. Tattersall and Mary lived in Blackpool for about 30 years and sometime in the 1880's Tattersall returned to his native Burnley.
In 1901 Mary was living with a married daughter in Leicester and in 1911 she was living with another married daughter in Morecambe, but I can't find her in 1891.
Tattersall was a bit of a celebrity in Burnley and when he died in 1921 there were a number of articles about him in the local paper but not one mention his wife or children.

Thankyou so much, I searched for Mary's Grandson John Clifford Shakeshaft (Transcribed as Shakeshoft ::) and Mary is living with her married daughter!
