Thanks Geoff.

We probably won't fill many gaps this time around.

No sign of them in 1841 on FS.

Shipping image has William as 5 not 3 which fits better with baptism date.

Dave

 

[DaveHam9]

Big gap between John (Grace) and William (Margaret) so hard to know when Grace died and when Henry married Margaret.

Yeah, very popular name

The arrival image does look more like 3 for William, though images are not my forte

[horse]

No obvious middle names for the offspring either.

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

I think we have the right baptism and deaths for John and William. I've not traced Ann.

Age 5 on this one.

No marriage on FS or Lancs OPC for Henry & Margaret.

No marriage on FS or Lancs OPC for Henry & Margaret.

If they did marry, there are 2x reg in West Derby and 1x in Liverpool for an Ann with mmn = Evans, that would fit.

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes, I've listed this as possible

Thanks Ellie.

Not much hope of finding the right Grace Williams.

Was hoping we would find the marriage to Margaret Evans and 1841 census but no sign.
