Thank you for your quick reply.
Much appreciated.

Did any of James & Ellen's kids die?

When I saw this:

Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1905
Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Mother's Maiden Name Reference
MELLING John William Billinge Wigan & Leigh BARTON BLLG/1/80
MELLING Jane Agnes Billinge Wigan & Leigh BARTON BLLG/1/81
http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk

I was sure Jane was John's twin, and had died. But I found no death, and 1911 describes her as daughter in:

Schedule type Last names First names Sex Birth year Age in 1911 District / other County / other

*** COULD SOMEONE GIVE DETAILS OF THE ABOVE HOUSEHOLD ***

I had guessed Jane was a niece, but it seems not - I think Alice & Ellen were sis.

Seeing that Ancestry site was free today I decided to find James and Ellen in 1911
and print out the original image. I used the exact info kindly given to me earlier this week,names dates etc but could not find them.
Can someone tell me where they can be found as I don't know what I am doing wrong.
Thank you. Mary

Don't put in too much info.

The 1911 posted above was from FMP

Allow for mistranscriptions......enter just name and birth year.

If that doesn't work, try just forename, birth year and birthplace

It is mistranscribed as MELLINE on Ancestry - Try putting that in the surname box Mary.

Thank you Jacqueline ,
Thought it might be spelt wrong but wasn't sure how to proceed.
Found them.
Melling was spelt Melline.
Your help was much appreciated
Mary

Thank you Dea.
I have still not got the hang of doing things yet.
