	I am looking for the birth of lillian fothergill. Her parents were john fothergill and ellen( nee chapman) . They married in 1877 at Sedburgh Dent. They lived there till johns death in 1898, so presumably,lillian was born between those dates. There were 2 more daughters,margaret and mary. We had never heard of this lillian till a family member told us about her. I have looked on Ancestry but cant find anything. Thanks Francesca
