Hi I have a Margaret Elliott b1863 in Newcastle/Durham. In the 1881 census she is living with her parents as Margaret Thompson and there is a grandson Edward John Thompson, so im presuming this is her son. The only marriage i can find is Margaret Elliott marrying David Thompson in 1878, but that would have made her only 15. Could someone either find the marriage with her father as Thomas Elliott, or Johns birth info with Margaret as his mother and the name of the father. Thanks very much

Don't forget, at that at that time girls could marry at twelve and boys at fourteen. Jennifer
