Julia.
Look at old occupations and several sites come up

Hi Selena

Thanks for that, I think that is probably correct. Liverpool was very industrious at that time, so i guess there was a call for a large number of horse teams.
What website are you looking at, can I ask.

Regards
Julia

I was serious about him owning a team of horses - got this from a website on old professions

TEAMER / TEAMER MAN / TEAMSTER - person in charge of a team of horses

Christina

Thats fantastic!!!!!!!!!

Seems like that is the one, I guess on Ada's marriage certificate, for the sake of propierty perhaps, she said her father was Abraham J-B.

Will look into all of that now.

Thank you so much

Christina.

Thats a great bit of detective work. I think you are right about Ada's mother Charlotte.

Possible registration.

Marriage for Charlotte to John Barlow...

BARLOW John Liverpool 8b 20
Buchanan Charlotte Johnson Liverpool 8b 20


Can't find a marriage for Charlotte to Abraham Buchanan. Do you think he might be the one in the 1871 census entry that Alex found?
Just wondering about 'Team Owner' and 'Steam Tug Owner'?

Looks like the Ada Johnson that Selena found the christening for could be the one..........

Bear with me....

Charlotte is listed as 'widow'

Thanks Sylvia
I have tried googling every permutation of his name that I can think of!!

I remember being told a while back about a website that listed professions etc in the 19th century, but cannot remember what it was (tried googling that too!!)

Will keep googling

Regards
Julia x

Have you tried googling Abraham's name??

If he was a team owner, it does indeed imply Everton or Liverpool .... and his name may be out there.


sylvia

is this a possible, nothing for Buchanan

Ada Johnson

Christening: 14 DEC 1874 St Mary'S, Edge Hill, Lancashire, England


Father: Abraham Thomas Johnson
Mother: Charlotte Elizabeth

perhaps he owned a team of horses, pulling a carriage or something similar.

or a football team (only joking)

Hi Alex
Had a crisis, only just got back to this!!!!!

Abraham on the marriage cert was listed as "Team Owner", any ideas???

Her address at the time of marriage was 14 Apollo Street, Everton.

Any thoughts, gratefully accepted.

Julia x

Let me know what you find - sadly I cant seem to see Ada with the family at all but you never know!

Also might be worth checking out who the witnesses were too - that might yield some more clues!

Thanks for all that Alex.
Have wondered before if Phoebe was an older sister of Ada's.
Will check marriage cert tonight and see what it says.
Thanks again
regards
Julia

So no idea whether its any help to you - but perhaps once you get home tonight and check his occupation it can at least rule him out if nothing else!
