This is probably her in 1901 - all children b Ashington

Joseph Algar 35  b Hatfield Essex - Banksman above ground
Catherine 31  b Berwick on Tweed
Margaret J   12 
Emma 9 
Alice Mary   6 
Rose Maud 4 
Henry Joseph 1 
RG13 Piece 4835 Folio 87 Page 53.

How old is Edmund in 1911 and does it give any county in Ireland as his birthplace

There's also a birth on freebmd which could be Margaret

Margaret Jane Algar Mar 1889 Morpeth 10b 342

There are a couple of others but too young to be married in 1907

Hi

I had just added this bit to my reply above so you probably haven't seen it

How old is Edmund in 1911 and does it give any county in Ireland as his birthplace

I'll check the 1901 for Edmund

carole my ggrandfather would have been 24/25 in 1911 - it is a long story he was an abandoned child born approx 1886/87 - have found a registry of his birth in n ireland (lurgan) - just have to apply for a birth cert now - to see if there are any details of his parent or wether he is listed as illegitimate. so exciting!

christine - thank you so much for researching this for me - that sounds very like my great grandmother. do you have any further details?
Cheers Gail

Hi

Why not post a request for a 1901 Irish census lookup on the Armagh board of Rootschat - you may get lucky

He wasn't in England in 1901

Re: the birth ref posted by Christine - it is the same Margaret I have shown on 1901 census
