	Susan, might I suggest you type in lower case as it's easier to read. A "please" goes down well too, and specifying what info you are after. Are you sure about that birthplace? 1901 England Census Name: Frances Summerbell [Frances McCann] Age: 19 Estimated birth year: abt 1882 Relation: Wife Spouse's name: Alexander Summerbell Mother's name: Isabella McCann Gender: Female Where born: Newcastle Upon Tyne Civil Parish: St Nicholas Ecclesiastical parish: St Nicholas County/Island: Northumberland Registration district: Newcastle upon Tyne Sub-registration district: St Nicholas Alexander Summerbell 24 Frances Summerbell 19 Isabella McCann 63 mother-in-law Where born: Penrith, Cumberland, England

	How do you know she was Frances McCann - have you any birth certificates of the children? This looks like Frances and Isabella in 1891. 1891 England Census Harriet F Williams Age: 8 Estimated birth year: abt 1883 Relation: Daughter Father's name: James W Williams Mother's name: Isabella Williams Gender: Female Where born: Newcastle Upon Tyne Civil Parish: St Nicholas Ecclesiastical parish: St Nicholas Town: Newcastle County/Island: Northumberland Country: England Street address: 38 Close Registration district: Newcastle Upon Tyne Sub-registration district: St Nicholas ED, institution, or vessel: 4 James W Williams 52 Fish hawker Sheffield Derbyshire Isabella Williams 46 clothes dealer Penrith Cumberland Harriet F Williams 8 Newcastle on Tyne Sarah A Thaw 20 lodger Source Citation: Class: RG12; Piece: 4208; Folio 63; Page 38; GSU roll: 6099318. Also, in free bmd, there are several births for Summerbell/Williams children showing after 1911, but not for Summerbell/McCann.
