Im looking for a little girl called Jessie Hamblett, she is on the 1871 census as living with James and Jessie Phipps in Liverpool and her aged is 7 but it says little Jessie was born in Cornwall, have searched LDS for her and other census but she is only on the 1871 one, where could little Jessie have gone? Any help would be very much appreciated. Yvonne

Did you know it said Neice for Jessie on the 1871 census? Still looking Zoe

Hi Zoe Yes I did notice that, but cos I dont know the name of her Aunt which is also Jessie, I thought it might be a hint to Aunt Jessie's maiden name. Thanks for looking Yvonne

Ive just had another thought as well (which is dangerous) Little Jessie came to Liverpool to live with them and the link I have with Jessie is James Phipps which would have been her uncle. Perhaps Little Jessie came to Liverpool with her parents and they have died or something and left her with her aunty. Yvonne

thats a possiblility I think I found the death of her uncle in 1872 as couldnt find him in 1881 either Name: James Phipps Estimated Birth Year: abt 1813 Year of Registration: 1872 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep Age at death: 59 District: West Derby County: Lancashire Volume: 8b Page: 221

Hi Zoe Yes thats right I have that information and I know Aunty Jessie was still alive in 1881 but no little Jessie. I had a look in the workhouse as well in liverpool for her but nothing on there, thought she might have gone to the workhouse.

hi another thought aunt jessie was born in scotland maybe her and jessie went there after james died berni

Hi Berni In 1881 Aunty Jessie was still in Liverpool as they were living in Ashton St, Liverpool, and Aunt Jessie was a Lodging Housekeeper. and little jess isnt with her. Yvonne

Hi Just looking on 1881 census and there is a Jessie Hambley niece with Aunt Jesse, aged 17, is this her - or have I not read the thread properly, apologies if I am confusing the issue. Regards Gail.
