Can anyone solve a mystery and find this girl's birth and who her parents please and also what happened to her?
Here she is in the 1891 census in Broughton, Ashton on Ribble, Preston
Margaret A Norman? age 6 born Lewes? Broughton, Lancs - birth registration not found
with parents Frank Norman b1862 Oadby, Leics - general labourer
and
Annie Norman b 1860 Ireland

Now Frank & Annie didn't marry until 31 May 1891 in Broughton and Annie's maiden name was given as Bresland.
So far I haven't been able to find a Margaret A Norman or a Margaret A Bresland being born in Lancashire. Could it be that Annie was married before and this child is the result of another relationship and registered under her father's name.
The place given on the census as place of birth is Lewes Broughton or perhaps Lower Broughton but is that in Ashton on Ribble or perhaps Manchester?
Then in the 1901 census - I can't find Margaret at all
This is Frank living with a Sarah Ashby using her surname and with her children and their son Frank Norman junior born 1898. He later marries Sarah in 1906 in Droylesden, Manchester. Frank dies in 1908 in Moston, Manchester.
Annie meanwhile is living in Burnley with her husband? James Andrews and baby son James born 28 Feb 1901. No marriage found.
In the 1911 census Annie is a widow living in Salford with her son and gives her place of birth as Co Fermanagh. She dies in Salford in 1915.
So I really need to find Margaret's birth and what happened to her to determine who her parent's were which might help find where Annie was in 1881 and where else to start searching. Frank was living with his parents in Oadby in Leicester in the 1881 census.
Any help greatly appreciated.
