Hi Christine, As I understand it, these are the facts: Mary Ellen Gerrard born 1863 (Poss Wigan) Frederick Gerrard born 1882 (Wigan) - no father so presumably illegitimate child of Mary Ellen. Jane Gerrard - trying to find relationship to Mary Ellen. Do you know if Mary Ellen later married? I am presuming Gerrard is her maiden name? I am having difficulty finding them together in 1891, have you got their birthplaces as listed in either 1891 or 1901 so I can compare them with earlier census. Please reply to this thread so that other's who are available to help, can. Thanks! Mags. x

Christine is that the right family that Jess posted in the 1891 census? Georgina.

To Georgina,.... the last Mary Ellen is correct my grandmother. I don't know about the others, her sister was Martha, and their mother was Martha Grundy - Frederick Gerrard Then back to Mary Ellen Gerrard 1863 I don't know any further.
