That's a good thought. I wonder if there is a death record of a Samuel lake before 1868? I'll have a look. A suggestion was made above of a death in 1885, but not sure if that's him.

Thanks yes, I think that is definitely the family. Samuel seems to have moved out by the time of the 1851 census when he would have been 16, so that seems reasonable. If he was the mariner who married Mary Connor, perhaps he left home in his early teens and headed for sea?? I'm not sure how to trace him after the 1841 census.
Thanks again

Thank you in advance for your ideas. I'm trying to find information on Samuel Lake, son of John Lake (1815-1886) and Elizabeth Pook (1816-1876). The family are from Macclesfield area, Cheshire, England and Samuel is the eldest of several children (Samuel, Hannah, John, Elizabeth, Stephen, James and Eliza Lake)
I believe I have found him in the 1841 Census living in Paradise St,Prestbury (Record says Samuel Leak) but I lose track of him after then.
Family folk-law says he may have moved to Australia and that his younger sister Hannah Lake (who married Isaac Hudson Burgess) followed him when Hannah and Isaac moved to Australia around 1863.
That is all the definite information I have. He could be the Samuel Lake that married Mary Connor in 1860 in Liverpool which lists him as a mariner.
I have found so many Samuel Lake's that I'm struggling to work out what happened to him. Many thanks for your time. Tania
