as you have been given 2 different families perhaps it would be worth finding Marjory's father's name. There were further possiblities also when looking at Lancs bmd if the scope was widened from Preston itself to the surrounding areas.

Your friends must know a little more about her than just a name.

Did she marry so that her father could be found from that certificate.

There is a lot of information online for the Preston/Fylde area which could be searched more detail was known.

Hi Lynda,
I didn't mean to confuse you (if I did) I believe the PICKERING family in 1901 and 1911 census are the same family .
On the 1911 census they have a 15 year old son Harold--that wasn't with them in 1901 census--I looked for him, and think this was him in 1901 with Aunt and Uncle George and Annie Coreless ( Annie is MAYBE nee Kibble as the marriage index given )

I agree the best thing to do is to get Marjories marriage cert to see who her father was --do you know who she married ?

All the best
Barbara

You are welcome Lynda, but please try and get the name of who she married --and send for the cert to verify her fathers name. Just to make sure were on the right track with Thomas and Mary Ellen.
All the best
