Find Ancestors

I have George John Evans born around 1876 in liverpool. He married Charlotte Irving in 1901 (after the census was taken).
I found that George's father was called John and I have an address of Lowndes st in liverpool but I am unable to find who he married or any sign of him in previous census returns - any help would be greatly appreciated.

Joanne

Does his marriage cert list his father's occupation?

K

I have an occupation of Blacksmith for John

The most obvious one I can see in the 1881 Census I have listed below. I understand coachsmith was sometime used for blackmith in certain locations. Or it could mean someone who makes or repairs coaches - railway or other. This was from Family Search but will check Ancestry later when I am at home

Looking at John Evans as a blacksmith living in Liverpool in 1881 I couldn't find a better match on Ancestry

This is the same family in 1891 with the father again working as a coachsmith- the address is Laith Street.

I don't know when they lived at Lowndes St, but hope this is of use.

Thankyou for this information, it has been very useful and I am amazed at how quickly you came up with this - I have spent hours and hours trawling through information and tied myself in knots several times.

Thanks again

Jojo

If it is the right family I would think this is John and parents in 1861 as th father George is listed as a coach trimmer, with all born Haverfordwest. I couldn't see John in 1871

Good Luck Kay
