Hi June, The full details for John Oakes are: RG12/3020, folio 106, 41, St Helens, Windle, Lancashire Double Locks (I think on Pocketnook Street) John Oakes, head, mar, 48, lock keeper canal, Ashton in Makerfield Mary Oakes, wife, mar, 43, St. Helens Florence Ann Oakes, daur, 8, scholar, St. Helens Eveline Mary Oakes, daur, 4, St. Helens John Hy Oakes, son, 4, St. Helens Frederick Ernest Oakes, son, 3, St. Helens Believe it or not there are over 1000 Alice Unsworths, the only two that are approximately the right age are in Bolton. Do you have any other family member names to help find her. Emma. |

Thank you Emma for finding me the information re Oakes and Unsworth. Would you be kind enough to look at the address for John Henry in the 1891 Cencus. For Ruth could you please look at maybe Alice Unsworth for me as I think she may have been known by this christian name but not shure. Many many thanks. xxxxx kind regards June |

Wavertree - Father John Let me know if you want details of any or full details of the family in Wigan. The only Ruth Unsworth I could find was: RG12/3073, Folio 62, Page 9 Penketh Lancashire 32 Bank Gardens William Ainsworth, head, mar, 57, tannery labourer, Cheshire Frodsham Elizabeth Ainsworth, wife, mar, 58, Lancashire Penketh Annie Ainsworth, daur, sing, 19, Penketh Martha Ainsworth, daur, 15, Penketh Ruth Unsworth, g/daur, 5, Penketh If you don't think this is your Ruth let me know and I'll have a go at playing around with the name etc. Emma. |

Hi I hope that someone can help me. If you could please look at the 1891 Cencus for the Wigan area for John Henry Oakes born 1890. Also Ruth Bertha Alice Unsworth born 1889. This information would be great. Thank you. June |
