I am hoping to find the relatives of Frederick Webber Williams born 1878.He marries a Sarah Jane Gray June 10th 1905.His Father again was Frederick Williams but he was down as deceased.The residence at the time of marriage was 14 Pindar Street,Liverpool.Although his middle name was Webber,I am not sure that this was a birth name.It may well be that his Father died young and he was adopted by a Webber family.Pure guess though as this has happened before in my family.They tended at that time to add the families name that they were living with,to their own.Any info is absolutely appreciated and thanks if anyone finds anything.I imagine that the 1911 census will tell all,as it will give answers to a lot of questions..Colin

Hi Colin,

What occupation did he give for himself and his father???

Oops You got there before me

Colin

Colin Report 22 Oct 2008 07:57

Hi to you all,and thanks for responding.Both occupations were given as Labourer.I have found a Frederick in Liverpool in 1901.He was down as a sick labourer.Not sure if this was him, but it would make sense as I said previously,he was deceased by 1905....Colin

Hi Colin

Nothing is standing out clear on the 1901. The marriage took place in the west derby district. What parish was it and who witnessed it. More often than not they were relations. Have you any idea what district the marriage address is in.

Hi Colin.

Cannot find him yet but here is somthing that is to much of a coincidence to ignore.

Garraboldi terr. Everton

Sarah Gray
Age: 28
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1873
Relation: Head
Gender: Female
Where born: Boldon, Lancashire, England


Joseph F Gray 3
Annie H Webber 10 months
Louisa M Webber 10 months

Sarah is a widow.
Living next door is a Christina Besseley. Note the ss instead of tt

This looks like they could be Freds ill. children with sarah.
I will keep digging

Do you have a birth certificate for any of frederick and sarahs children. This would confirm her maiden name.

An Eleanor Williams is listed on the same page for the marriage. Could she be a sibling? The marriage was at St. Chrysostom according to LancsBMD and the references are sequential 2095WD/6/334 and 2095WD/6/335.

Hi and Wow.That all looks amazing.What I do not understand is the Webber and Gray bit.Why are the childrens named after this rather than Williams.Is this a 1901 census.As she is the head then he must be either in hospital at this point or dead.As for the 1st marriage,the answer is no.Her maiden name was Ireland.

Juelz

Juelz Report 22 Oct 2008 20:11

Who could be dead??? they did not marry until 1905.

Colin

Colin Report 22 Oct 2008 20:11
