Just had another look at the 1901 census and :-
Clara Calvert is not actually living in the same house as Robert and Margaret. She is living 9 Wellington St. Cottage House for Poor Children and is the Matron, so she is not the mother or Margaret.

This could be a marriage for Robert and Margaret:-
Marriages Mar 1874 (>99%)
Blundell Kerenhappuch Ormskirk 8b 967
xxxx Mawdsley Robert Ormskirk 8b 967
Rimmer Richard Ormskirk 8b 967
xxxx Seddon Margaret Ormskirk 8b 967

...........birth cert. of one of the children will confirm, or not, if this is the correct one.

Births Mar 1877
Mawdsley Mary Margaret Ormskirk 8b 790

Catherine you are brill thank you so much for your help .I used ancestry last year I am not getting a lot from G.R. I have have had loads of last years print
outs ,out today with a calculater tring to work out some births .marriages and deaths, so i can order some certificates .for Robert and Margaret .but they add
years on and take them off so its going to be hit and miss.Thanks for all your hard work .lily.

Lily,
There is another possible marriage:-
Marriages Mar 1875 (>99%)
MAWDSLEY Robert Preston 8e 721
SUTTON Margaret Preston 8e 721
.......but the other one is more likely as the reg. district is the same reg. dist. as 1881 census and Ormskirk was the reg. dist. for Formby at this time.


The same marriage on Lancashire bmd:-

Lancashire Marriage indexes for the years: 1874
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
MAWDSLEY Robert SEDDON Margaret Ormskirk Register Office or Registrar Attended Preston RM/15/23

Lancashire Marriage indexes for the years: 1875
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
MAWDSLEY Robert SUTTON Margaret Preston, St John Preston 229/35/65

1891 census has son Thomas born 1890/1 with middle name beginning with R.
Lancashire bmd has this birth which looks to be him:-

Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1890
MAWDSLEY Thomas Robert Litherland South Sefton SEDDON LITH/22/20

.....which shows mothers maiden name as Seddon, so 1874 marriage does look to be the correct one.

lily123

lily123 Report 30 Jul 2010 21:22

thanks for that i have got some dates sorted so i can order some certificates.seddon is the right name for my G.G.GRANDMA.SO THATS THE ONE!!!!!!.

Catherine

Catherine Report 30 Jul 2010 21:28

1891 also shows children George and Catherine with middle names, so these would also seem to be their births:-

Births Mar 1881
MAWDSLEY George William Ormskirk 8b 820

Births Jun 1884 (>99%)
Mawdsley Catherine Winifred Ormskirk 8b 839

.........middles names are really important when looking for marriages and deaths so should always be included if know.

There's also this one with mother's maiden name Seddon:-
Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1893
MAWDSLEY John Joseph Great Crosby South Sefton SEDDON C/24/33
which must be the Joseph in 1901 and 1911 census, but as you can see he was actually born John Joseph.

Catherine

Catherine Report 30 Jul 2010 21:45

George is noted in 1911 as being widowed, so he must have married in between the census records.
This is a possible:-
Marriages Sep 1901 (>99%)
DEVANEY Margaret W. Derby 8b 989
xxxx Mawdsley George William W. Derby 8b 989
xxxx Moss Elizabeth W. Derby 8b 989
QUINN Phillip W.Derby 8b 989

Lancashirebmd show he married Elizabeth Moss:-
MAWDSLEY George W MOSS Elizabeth West Derby, Register Office or Registrar Attended Liverpool REG_WD/202/18

George was 20 in 1901 and 30 in 1911 census, so if his wife died in between these dates I would expect her to be in her 20's. There are several deaths for an Elizabeth Mawdsley at this time, but this one is the only one whose age fits:-

Deaths Dec 1907 (>99%)
MAWDSLEY Elizabeth 24 Prescot 8b 544

THERE ARE LOADS OF OTHERS THAT MY MUM TALKS OF BUT I CANT SEEM TO FIT THEM IN TO THE PICTURE.

This looks to be the death you mention:-

Name: Joseph Mawdsley
Death Registration Month/Year: 1969
Age at death (estimated): 52
Registration district: Liverpool North
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume: 10d
Page: 591

his death cert. may give you a clue as to where he fits in as the birth could have been registered by a member of his family, wife or child.

These are all births Mawdsley - Seddon after 1911:-

Births Dec 1912 (>99%)
Mawdsley John J Seddon W.Derby 8b 704

Births Mar 1915 (99%)
MAWDSLEY Eva Seddon W. Derby 8b 733

Births Jun 1917 (>99%)
Mawdsley James Seddon W.Derby 8b 580

Births Sep 1919 (>99%)

so we have another John J. Mawdsley born in 1912 and we don't have a Joe born in 1916 but there is a James born in 1917?
