Member Since: April 2005 Posts: 117 Send Message	Hi, I would like to find out the parents names of Margaret Hall 1834 Norham Northumberland. Her mothers maiden name also if possible to see if I can disregard this link as a connection with the Darling family. 1841 census would be at home 6years old 1851 census probably at home 16 years old 1861 census married 26 years She married George Smith about 1859/60 and I have found them in the 1881 census. Her place of birth is Workam instead of Norham. I have her children births ranging from 1862-1878, which makes her quite old for the last couple! Any help would be greatly received. Allison
