I believe you are correct and I have picked up the wrong Cecily/Cicely.
I have not got too much further with the antecedents of Margaret/Maggy Ellen Bond 1874 but spent the weekend going back through the family of Thomas Mawdsley 1827. In case the information is of use to anyone else searching the Mawdsley lines, I include my findings so far.
The Family of Thomas Mawdsley 1827
1841 According to the 1841 Census, schoolboy Thomas Mawdsley 12 is shown to be living in premises on Liverpool Road Formby, the home of his parents John Mawdsley 45, agricultural labourer and Isabela Mawdsley 40. Sharing the home were five more of Thomas Mawdsley's sons and two of his daughters. The sons were William Mawdsley 20, Richard Mawdsley 15, James Mawdsley 10, Robert Mawdsley 7 and Edward Mawdsley 5. The daughters were Mary Mawdsley 3 and Alice1 Mawdsley 1. William and Richard Mawdsley were employed as agricultural labourers. All the family was shown as having been born in Lancashire.
1851 According to the 1851 Census, Thomas Mawdsley 22 railway labourer is shown to be living in premises on Liverpool Road Formby, the home of his parents John Mawdsley 57, agricultural labourer and Isabella Mawdsley 53. Also in the home were his brothers Robert Mawdsley and Edward Mawdsley, both agricultural labourers and his schoolgirl sisters Mary Mawdsley 13 and Ellen1 Mawdsley 10.

All were shown as having been born in Formby the County of Lancaster.

He and his wife Catherine Mawdsley 52 were living at premises on Liverpool Road, Formby with 6 of their children and a grandchild. These comprised their unmarried sons Thomas Mawdsley 23 a general labourer, John 16 Mawdsley and Edward Mawdsley 14 who were fishermen and James 11, together with their unmarried daughter Elizabeth Mawdsley 18 a dressmaker.

Also living with them was their married daughter Elizabeth 28, with her fisherman husband John Aindow 23 and their daughter Kate Aindow 2.
1894 James Mawdsley married Margaret Ellen Bond on 60June 1894 at the Church of our Lady of Compassion, Formby.
1894 Thomas Mawdsley died Q4.
1900 Margaret Ellen Mawdsley died 18 September 1900.
1901 According to the 1901 Census, Catherine Mawdsley 74, was widowed but still alive and living with her son James 31 at his home in Liverpool Road, Formby. James had been widowed in 1900 when his wife Margaret Ellen, nee Bond 1874, had died. Catherine Mawdsley 1827 was accompanied by Margaret Alcock who is described as the niece of the Head of the Family, James Mawdsley.
Also in the household were James' daughters Catherine 6 (my grandmother who died in 1984) and Mary 4 and his son Thomas 3. All were shown as born in Formby in the County of Lancaster with the sole exception of Catherine Mawdsley 74 who was recorded as having been born in North Meols in the County of Lancaster.
Footnotes:
1 Ellen Mawdsley and Alice Mawdsley may possibly be the same person, with the recording clerk mistaking the hand-written notes of the canvasser or the statements of the parents.
Comments and suggestions welcomed. Help with the elusive Cecily/Cicely Bond would be gratefully accepted.
Good hunting
Ron

Please note that the very first sentence of my last post, against 1841, should read ''1841 According to the 1841 Census, schoolboy Thomas Mawdsley 12 is shown to be living...'' etc. The words 'railway labourer shouldnot have been there. My apologies for any confusion - more care needed when cutting and pasting!

Apologies for the slowness of my response but other distractions have kept me away from the site for a few days.
Yes thank you. Knowing that Mary Taylor was not the mother of Cecily Bond allowed me to get on with searching for other women named Mary that married a Thomas Bond. You may see the results on the Cecily Bond thread.
Jim,
George who was born in 1874 was George Henry. He married Annie Bowles and they had William Frederick and George Henry. They lived in Hargreaves Street before he left England for Africa. Annie remained in Southport with the children. She is listed in the 1901 census with them. She left to join George and they had another child John Edward in Rhodesia. George joined up with South African Forces to serve in 1914-18 war where he died and is buried in St Sever Cemetery in Rouen. I have his war medals as he is my great grandfather.
I have a problem with Richard. Did they make a mistake as the year of birth would match that of Michael?
Should it be of interest to nghengure (or anyone else) George Henry MAWDSELY (b1874 Southport) was 1st cousin seven times removed to this man :-
