Alice Kershaw Musk - Rawtenstall

[Road Runner]

Hello All,
I am searching for information on Alice Kershaw Musk who was born in 1878 in Rawtenstall to mother, Elizabeth Musk.

In 1899 Alice married John Alfred Harwood. I can follow her through the 1901 census onwards to her death, however I cannot find her or her mother in the 1881 and 1891 census.

A fresh pair of eyes would be appreciated.
Kind regards

Rawtenstalll is in the registration district of Haslingden.  Have you looked for a marriage for Elizabeth and then subsequent census records?

Thanks for the reply.
There are a number of Elizabeth Musk's in that area of Haslingden that married after 1878 and I have been trawling through the names as you have suggested, but nothing stands out at the moment.
Thanks

Did Alice name a father on her marriage?
Is there a specific residence on her marriage?
Who were the witnesses to the marriage?

Hello,
The birth certificate has father name left blank and I've only just ordered the marriage certificate. She was born in Lord Street, Rawtenstall in Jan 1878.
The only clue could be her middle name Kershaw if it was the father's surname.
Thanks

Could Elizabeth in 1881 be the same person as Alice in 1891.

Lancs opc has the baptism of Charles Musk 1880, (born 1878)  son of Amelia Musk, single woman, Lord Street

Amelia Musk is with parents and siblings etc in Richard Street off Lord Street.

There may well be a connection.

Robert and Pamela Musk have a daughter Elizabeth but no Amelia with them.
However, there are births in Newmarket, for Elizabeth, 1854 and Amelia 1856 with mmn Brooks.
