Hello again Jayne Thanks so much for the census images and for your work in looking for Maria. Unfortunately, I don't think any of them fit, so I am forced to conclude that she 'slipped through the net' on Census day, as I did myself in 1971. My landlady didn't declare me as her tenant in the granny flat attached to the house (I was only 29 at the time), and I didn't think it important at the time! I tried to set the record straight last year and wrote to the relevant authorities, but they won't change the entry - so I disappear in 1971 and reappear in 1981 under a different name (married). Hey ho! Anyway I shall carefully archive all the Maria's and look at them with great care to make sure I'm right. By the way, what is a 'soundex search' please? I've never heard of it. Thanks again for being so kind, and I wish you and those you love a Very Happy Christmas and a blessed and peaceful New Year. Aileen PS I don't think the Worksop one is mine, as Maria's mother died in 1875, so she didn't have a stepfather. Thanks for the suggestion anyway though. > > The one in Worksop looks promising doesn't it? I did a check and found that her stepfather was Charles Nixon aged 66 and a Grocer and Licensed Victualler bn Ashover. His wife was Sarah Nixon aged 56 bn Heightington, LIN. They had a daughter Martha A. Nixon aged 29 bn Worksop an imbecile. Then Maria Marshall, step-daughter aged 32, a Grocer's Assistant apparently born in Worksop. They were all residing at 157 Gateford Road. I lived on that road in 1975/76.
