Yes that's great. Thank you.

Since I wrote this family up a couple of years ago, I've found the marriages for their daughters Margaret and Catharine.

Margaret (their fourth child bp 4 Jan 1829 St George Douglas) was a 12 year old female servant in Liverpool in 1841, then married Frederick WHARTON (later WHORTON) in 1847 (he was a shoemaker from Flintshire) and I've found 10 children. She was still alive in the 1881 census and I think dead by 1891.

I think it's sad that a 12 year old girl would be sent out to work as a servant for another family, but it was different times then.

The next child of Matthias and Margaret CALLOW, Catharine bp 27 Mar 1831 at St. George Douglas, I think will be the one who married Francis TRAPPES in West Derby just before the 1851 census. They are in the census with a one-month old child Thomas who I think died shortly after. I can't find a sign of them again, so perhaps they emigrated.

I'm working on other members of the family, so if anybody is interested just drop me a note at egelling at shaw dot ca.
