"Margaret Ormerod - born 1846
The only trace of her is in the 1871 Census, living with William &Martha Dent as a boarder, together with three other siblings, plus twoother very young Ormerod children. The young children must belong toeither Ann Ormerod or Margaret Ormerod.
It would seem likely that Sarah Jane Ormerod, born 1868, was the childof Margaret (the 1881 Census shows William Dent to be their uncle andhis wife, Martha, had died).

From notes made by David Ormerod Baxter:
"Margaret Ormerod

Sarah Jane Ormerod b.1868 (possible daughter)
Joseph Ormerod b.18/05/1873 - no recorded father (see BirthCertificate)"


Sarah Ormerod

From notes made by Malcolm Ormerod:
"Sarah Ormerod - born 1856
She does not appear in the 1871 Census living with William Dent as aBoarder.
She was only 7 years old when her mother died, so one would haveexpected her to have stayed with her siblings.

From notes made by David Ormerod Baxter:
"Sarah Ormerod

Must have died between the 1861 Census and the 1871 Census?"
