Hi and welcome to Rootschat

By the time of the 1891 census - the children from his first marriage would have been in their late 20's and possibly married

have you checked Cheshire BMD or freebmd for their marriages

Wow! many thanks for your replies i will follow up the information I would like  to find out about Frances she was 17 on the 1881 census and listed as an imbecile which is sad i wonder if she was placed in a home when her mother died i can not find a marriage for her

Many thanks to every one for their help and advice i now know Frances died 8th March 1927 at the Nantwich Union Workhouse age 65 she never married her occupation was given as a domestic servant of Olive Cottage Worleston Nantwich she also worked at Bank Farm Coockoo Lane Harleston  on the 1901 census . she was buried 14th March 1927  the Rector CWM Bromley performed the ceremony i am presuming Frances is in a public grave i will try and find where she is buried as i would like to visit her resting place  i think it is so sad she died in the workhouse

Marlowmags, most of the people who died in the Nantwich Workhouse are buried in All Saints, Barony Road.  If you look in the lookup offers section of this county site there is an offer to find graves in this cemetery.
