Thanks a million.  Don't suppose I could have the 1901 census?

Margaret is not so easy. So far I have not found one listing a place of birth we already have and there are a few Margaret Johnson's in Northumberland. You can try the 1881 Free on Family Search if you like. I will keep looking for her in 1861 or 1871

I am sorry. I am not having any luck with Margaret. With nothing else to go by I am afraid we will need the marriage Certificate to find out her Fathers Name. There is just no-one showing up with a place of birth listed to match the Census Entries we have in either 1861 or 1871 census. By 1881 she is working as a servant......Kris
