Anyone descended from this Openshaw family?

1911 Census the family lived at 28 Langdale Rd, Manchester, Lancashire

George Arthur Openshaw Head, 39,. Born Farnworth Lancs. Land & Building Surveyer
Bessie Annie Openshaw, Wife, 39, born Hastings, Sussex
Margaret Openshaw, 10 , daughter born Manchester
Hilda Openshaw, 9, daughter, born Manchester

Bessie Annie Openshaw died in 1952 at 28 Langdale Rd, Manchester, Lancashire.
Bessie is a relative of my late father-in-law..

This is the same family on the 1901 Census.

1901 Census 25 Ashford Rd, Manchester
George A. Openshaw Head, 29,. born Moses Gate? Lancs. Estate Agent’s Clerk
Bessie A. Openshaw, Wife, 29, born Hastings, Sussex
Margaret Openshaw, daughter 7 Mths , born Manchester

I do not have the two children's birth certificates so I don't know exactly where and when they were born.

However, I do have all details of Bessie's family to share with anyone who has proof of their relationship to George Arthur & Bessie Annie Openshaw.

Thank you for the Baptism records, Much appreciated.

I've now discovered that they both died as spinsters.
