Find Ancestors

I am trying to trace what happened to Ann and Mary Midwood, daughters of Charles and Selina Midwood (nee Wilkinson), born around 1871 and 1877 respectfuly in Yorkshire. They had a brother called Lister and a sister called Sarah.
Their father re-married to Ann Popplewell and they had four more children together; Jane, Frank, Eva (my GG Grandmother) and Bessy.
If you have any information, I would love to hear from you!
Thanks for reading this!
Regards
Becky

Fab thank you for all your information! Given their marriage date, would it be fair to assume that the 1st child would have been born around 9mths on from this? That would make Ann's birth 1871, around June onwards?
when Selina died, he did remarry very quickly it seems from when the last child was born to when the 1st child with his new wife.

I have tracked them in the census, def in 1881 and possibly 1891, but lose them soon after - it would be a complete shot in the dark to guess if they married and when - Im aware that women can be harder to trace then men - is there trick to it?!
I did wonder if may be Mary died between the 1881 and the 1891, as she would have been 14 when the 1891 census took place.
I am in touch with a relative of Lister's and she gave me some information on Sarah, but Mary and Ann are proving more difficult!
look forward to hearing from you again soon! Many thanks

I have found Mary Midwood, who died in the 1st quarter of 1890 in Kingston - wasnt expecting that! Will now request her death certificate and try to locate where she is buried.
Can not find anything on Ann at all - is any one able to help?
Many thanks
Becky
