I am trying to find this family and can only get them on the 1891 census:

1881 Census [RG11;5091;81;17] living at 3 Victoria Street, Cowpen, Horton
John Dunn, Head, M, 36, Boiler Maker, Howden on Tyne, Northumberland
Ann Dunn, Wife, M, 45, Blyth, Northumberland
Mary Ann Fowle, daur, 17, Assistant Confectioner, Blyth, Northumberland
Sarah Fowle, daur, 15, Domestic Servant, Blyth, Northumberland
Betsey Fowle, daur, 13, Domestic Servant, Blyth, Northumberland
Margaret Fowle, daur, 11, scholar, Blyth, Northumberland
Thomas Fowle, son, 9, scholar, Blyth, Northumberland
Celia Fowle, daur, 7, scholar, Blyth, Northumberland

John Dunn married Ann Fowle in 1880.

Ann was previously married to Matthew Fowle in 1861 - [reg - Dec qtr] at Christ Church, Tyneside. Ann's maiden name was Soulsby.

I did find matthew's parents [Matthew Fowle & Ann Brown] and siblings living in the Seaton Delaval area .

I'm going cross-eyed trying to find Matthew & family on the 1871 census - can anyone help me before I go blind pleaseeee ?

Kind regards

Angie

I never thought about looking for fowle as starting with an L ..... but when you think about it , their S, F & L could easily be mistaken !

Duh !

thank you so much for finding them for me.
