Hi,
Tracy - yes that seems to Jonathon, living with his family.
I have then found Jonathon again with his own family, but Elizabeth isn't on the 1901 census, which is why I'm thinking she passed away.
Doresetbaby - I don't think this is her, as she has a daughter born 1890 - Margaret.
the whole family is from Wigan.
Many thanks for all your help.
Angela.

I have been trying to find an Elizabeth Purdam, married to Jonathon Purdham, born c1859, had 3 children, Charlotte, Elizabeth and Margaret.
The family is on the 1901 census, but I guess she must have passed away.

Any info would be great.
Thanks, Angela
