What was Abraham's occupation on the marriage cert?

Alex

Hi Ruth
Have got that cert and actually thought that it would be very easy to find her family with a name like that!!!!
Oh, that I should be that lucky.
Thanks for taking the time to look.

Found the reference for Ada & Thomas's marriage


Marriages Mar 1895

Ruth

Last ditch attempt to find this women!!!!
My grandfather's (William Eric Smith 1905, Birkenhead) mother was Ada Smith formerly Ada Johnson-Buchanan (from his birth cert). Have got her marriage cert to Thomas Smith stating fathers name as Abraham Johnson-Buchanan dec'd. 1901 census with family as ref:

Name: Ada Smith
Age: 25
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1876
Relation: Wife
Spouse's Name: Thomas
Gender: Female
Where born: Liverpool, Lancashire, England

Civil Parish: West Derby
Ecclesiastical parish: Liverpool St Phillip
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England
Registration district: West Derby
Sub-registration district: West Derby, Eastern
ED, institution, or vessel: 2

Household schedule number: 136
Household Members: Name Age
Margaret Barton 15
Ada Smith 25
Ada E Smith 4
Gertrude Smith 2
Mildred Smith 2 months
Thomas Smith 25

My problem is that I cannot find anything concrete prior to 1901 census and the only reference to her father is a possible death reg in 1886 (8b 438 West Derby).

Anyone got any ideas!!!!!
