Thanks Mel aswell,

A shoemaker and saddler could be interchangable couldn't they as both are working in leather?

Thanks

Julie

Thanks K

That could certainly be them,her grandchild called Euphemia died quite young and is buried in Toxteth cemetary.

I was wondering where that name came from because it sounds so unusual.

Thanks again

I have just received my great x 2 grandparents marriage certificate after a 3 week wait.

There names where Emmanuel Cliffe and Isabella Gray.

I have the info on Emmanuel its all listed on a thread called Census Queries.I did'nt know whether to post on the old thread or start a new one.

What I was wondering is when Isabella and her family came from Scotland.On the census records with Emmanuel it states she was born in Scotland.

Her father was a John Gray and it says on the cert that he was a shoemaker.

Isabellas address on the cert says Madryn Street Liverpool.
I've checked it out on google maps and its still there although all the houses seem to be boarded up.

Thanks for all your previous help

Julie
