found our Annie from the Lakes in Blackburn
Annie Ward is sitting quietly at home at Troutbeck Bridge aged 12 in the census. Little did I know that once her mother died, all three girls would go off to the cotton mills of Blackburn and there find husbands. In 1911, Annie's husband just left most of the birthplaces blank. In 1901, here is Annie born in Windermere. But the Ancestry index has a garbled version which slowed me down finding her. I had to guess she'd married in Blackburn like her sisters and follow up the only possible marriage there from freebmd. Annie was the only one to have any family, and her son-in-law's youngest sister is still living in Blackburn. I'd like to know more about these Blackburn girls. Census image: Crown Copyright
