What happened, I wondered idly, to Jane A Whittaker, no longer living with her parents after 1861. Far too many Jane Whittakers getting married so I left it.
I traced her mother right through to 1901 when she had two nieces, Lilly and Ellen Crossley living with her.
I traced them both in 1891 and 1881 - ah! their mother was Jane A. Finally found Jane A Crossley in 1871...... newly married and living right next door to her mum and dad,the Whittakers, lol!
(And of course, they were Ellen's grandchildren, not her nieces. Still, you don't want to give too much away to the enumerator, do you?)
