Title: Margaret Adamson Smith
Post by: George Shaw on Monday 01 May 23 18:09 BST (UK)
Margaret was born 3Q 1890 in Tydesley (Leigh), was married twice (Sir George Holden on 11 Jun 1913 in Astley and then to Joseph Henry Wright on 28 Feb 1946 in Astley) and died on 22 Mar 1955 in Wigan. I'm trying to learn more about Margaret's mother, Mary, listed in the 1901 census for Peel Hall, Astley, as Mary Smith, born in 1886 in Accrington. Although the 1911 census lists her spouse, Thomas Smith, as being married, Mary is not listed as resident at this property, Peel Hall, Astley. Would find Mary Smith's maiden name very useful.

I think you have the wrong year for the birth of Margaret's mother. Should it be 1866?

.

Your quite right emeltom, think her parents might be Daniel Chadwick and Ann Bury.

1911 census, Mary Smith c 1866 is a visitor aged 45 with 2 sons (as Below) in the household of an Albert Smith aged 49 and his wife in Stretford, Lancs. (Possibly Thomas Smith's brother, both born same place)

Free search of 1921 census shows Thomas and Mary together
