Not very long to wait and see now we hope , but if either or both of your Great-grandmothers was still alive and married in 1911 then she will have been asked:
how long married, how many children born alive and how many still living?
McDonough, Oliver, McLoughlin, O'Brien, Cuthbert, Keegan, Quirk(e), O'Malley, McGuirk (Ireland)
Dudley, Winchurch, Wolverson, Brookes (Black Country)
Concannon, Moore, Markowski (Markesky), Mottram, Lawton (Black Country)

I had forgotten that DW - thank you for the reminder - I do hope wherever this census appears - the provider has a strong hardware presence - so many descendants waiting impatiently   :)

Thanks Trish,DW Jean and Cell for your replies, as usual I'm that keen to get on here and maybe get some answers that I dont always put enough info down.
    Its mostly English births I was looking for.I have found the free bmd site very helpfull & where it lists maiden name its a doddle.I have sent for some birth cert. and have been lucky and got the right ones the odd one or two have been no good, theres still some I  haven't tried yet.
Like you Jean on one branch of the tree they also used the maiden name as a second name for the child so that made things easier again.
I have limited info on Irish descendants mostly what I've gained from the english census but thought maybe I could find marriages if I had both names and that may lead to new clues.
I didn't know that the 1911 census was going to hold that kind of info, still the way that this years flying in it won't  be long till its here ;D
