  Research Notes:

In 1841-1851, Lillias was with her mother.

In 1861, Lillias (31) and Dennis (30) were at 7 Front Row Dalry, with John (7) James (5) David (4) and Mary (2) all Dalry.

In 1871, Lillias (41) and Dennis (40) were at 28 Pipe House Lane New Town Whitehaven Cumberland, with Mary B (12) Jane M (9) Hugh (6) Lileys [sic] (2) Dennis M (1m) and nephew John McCall (23) Scotland. James (15) and David (14) were at 23 Avenue Street Stewarton, with aunts Margaret Gibson and Elizabeth Highet.

In 1881, Lillias (51) and Dennis (50) were at Lonsdale Iron Works Preston Quarter Whitehaven Cumberland, with David (34) Mary Brown (22) Jane Man (19) Hugh Gibson (16) grocer's apprentice Lillias (12) Dennis Man (10) and niece Lilly Bean (7) London.

In 1891, Lillias (51) and Dennis (50) were at Bellington Lane Norton in the Moors, with Mary B (32) Jane Man (29) Hugh Gibson McCall (26) blast furnaceman Dennis (20) grand daughter Lillias (11) Scotland and nephew James Wardrop (30).

In 1901, Lillias (71) and Dennis (70) were at Billington Lane Norton in the Moors, with Mary (41) Dennis (30) blast furnace keeper and grandson David Wardrop (7) Parton Cumberland.

In 1911, Dennis (w) (80) was at Bellington Lane Norton in the Moors Stoke-on-Trent Staffordshire, with Mary (52) Dennis (40) and David Wardrop (17).

Samuel Bean and Helen Gibson were married in Bethnal Green in 1872, and Lilly was born in 1873. Helen was born in London, and is an unlikely relation for the Stewarton Gibsons. Lilly was not found in 1891, and there was no death or marriage. Perhaps another Samuel Helen couple emigrated? ²
