Have found my cousins Nancy and Robert.
Still searching for information and records of Samuel Muscroft born 1829 died March 1973 married to Margaret Hannah(Margarita). Anyone who can help please contact me.

If you obtain a copy of the death certificate for Samuel Muscroft in 1873 it may give you more information.

This is my family for sure .
However. their have been a lot of mis-spelling errors.
Murpose and Musgrove should read Muscroft and the 1861 Census Margaret Lighthous should read Stonehouse. Regarding Murpose can not get any help at all.

Margaret Hannah married Thomas Evans who died then she married Andrew Stonehouse who died then she married Samuel Muscroft (My Great-Grandfather)who died 1873 My grandfather Samuel was born 1871
Thank you for your help
