Who her brothers and sister married, if they did. Have tried to guess when Mary got married but the certificate was not the right one. I know that she got married and had children as my nana remembered looking after them when she was a teenager. We do not know when her father died, she was told that he fell down the stairs and broke his neck. We can not find a death record for him. Thankyou Clare.

Those two marriages were on my list but I went for one in 1922 which was not right. Thankyou Clare.

Have you tried looking for them in "search trees" above.Someone called Patrica may be a link

Yes Patricia is my mother. Thanks Clare.

The Mellor Family 1901 seem to be a match. Many thanks. This is Clare's mum Pat now.
Mum remembers her father James with a Kitchener moustache, flat cap and puttees. Sounds like the Manchester Regiment. Any info would be appreciated.
When James married Martha 1895 they both lived in Northington St., Manchester. This no longer seems to exist. He was a painter and she worked at Robertsons Jam factory.
We cannot trace where James and his father John were in the 1891 census,but think they were local to Manchester, and his father was still alive when they married. We do not know his mothers's name.
We would be grateful for any help.

We have found a Miller family at 31 Copperas Hill, Liverpool in the 1881 census,but doubt that the father went from being a Broker to being a dock labourer.
Any help?

Yes I think I will send for the marriage certificate, that one seems more promising. Thankyou Clare

I was told that Walter Miller got married to someone called Minnie but I can not find the marriage. He commited suicide some time after 1950 because his daughter got pregnant out of wed lock. We think they moved to weston supermare . Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks Clare.

John Miller was a dock labourer and James Miller was a painter in 1895. We have thought that those two in the workhouse could be them. Thanks Clare.

Maybe?

I am unable to find the Warburton family in the 1901 census. I have the birth certificate for Martha Warburton in 1876 father Samuel a glass cutter. Mothers maiden name Conley. I can not find births for Ensley (possibly Emily ) or Elizabeth. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Clare.
