Deborah, you'll have to let me know how you found that one!!! Thanks so much to you and Richard! I've very excited to have finally found them... Too bad we can't search by first name. That would have brought up Mabel, anyway.

I have seen those 1911 censuses in automated genealogy have so many "off-the-wall" spellings, that it drives me up the wall. (WILKERSON for NICHOLSON?)
