Thank you - are the rest of the family born Runcorn? And are they are ALL children of Samuel Wood?
The family name is actually WOODS - Samuel died in 1870 but can you spot him in 1851 and 1841?
Thanks,
Peter

I've updated the info. It could be Woods. There's a small squiggle after the 'd'.
Yes, all daughters and the one son.
I'll check for other censuses.

1841 England Census Name: Samuel Woods Age: 30 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1811 Gender: Male Civil Parish: Runcorn Hundred: Bucklow County/Island: Cheshire Country: England Street Address: Fryer St Occupation: Waterman Registration District: Runcorn Sub-registration District: Runcorn Piece: 95 Book: 20 Folio: 14 Page Number: 22 Household Members: Name Age Samuel Woods 30 - not born in county Kitty Woods 13 - not born in county Ann Woods 10 - born in county
No relationships in 1841 of course, but looks like he's widowed so his elder family is with a different wife.

Oh wow - how lovely to find out more about Deborah and her family.
This really is appreciated, and please keep it coming.
I would love to find out more about Mary also, Samuel's second wife ... she is my ancestor through her daughter Mary Woods.
Would the only way of finding her maiden name be by buying Mary's birth certificate?

Ah thank you - could we find the Miller family after this date? I have looked but nothing on the 1881 census - also seems Mary Woods senior died in 1882, and Mary Woods junior married my ancestor Michael Lever in 1871, about seven weeks after this census ... I already have information on her family but have struggled finding a death. Here she is in 1881/1891 when I lose her - please don't look for her spouse and children as I already have information on them:
1881 Census Living 35 James Street Widnes Lancashire Michael LEVER Head Mar 26 Alkali Worker Manuf Born Bolton Lancashire Mary LEVER Wife Mar 25 Born Runcorn Cheshire Henry LEVER Son 9 Scholar Born Weston Cheshire James LEVER Son 6 Scholar Born Weston Cheshire

LEVER Boarder M 37 Laundress Born Widnes Lancashie Anna LEVER Daur 8 Scholar Born Runcorn Cheshire Samuel GORST Boarder Wid 64 Agricultural Labour Born Frodsham Chehire
Also, seems as though Jane Woods died in 1895 (another sister), but can you spot John Woods in 1901/1911?
Thank you again!

I have searched and searched for Samuel and Mary's marriage with no luck. There is the possibility they may not have married. I find this unlikely considering they were in the community of Runcorn before and after their relationship began.
Mary consistently gives her birthplace as Overton except for 1861 where she is recorded as Five Crosses. This is in the town of Frodsham. There is also an Overton Hill in Frodsham.
Looking at the birth dates of their children, it seems their relationship started in the late 1840s as Elizabeth, probably their eldest, is registered in 1848. Although you've got to wonder who Ann is in 1861. She was born after Deborah died but a good 4-5 years before the younger children. Having been born in Overton you wonder if she's Mary's child.
As for Sarah Duncalf, also born in Overton, as you say - where does she fit in? See next post for more on her.
As for your Mary's maiden name, yes, it should be on a birth certificate of one of her children.
