I am researching a James Barlow c1812. and his wife Mary c1816. They would have married about 1836-1842 as the birth cert of their daughter Hannah is June 1842. He is recorded as being a "fisherman"" on the certificate. They are living in the Hoylake area of Cheshire so that makes sense of his trade.

I could not find him on the 1851 census so I tried Hannah, and found one of the right age, living in the same area, with a mother who is recorded as "head", called Mary Pipington and a sister of 4 called Mary Ann.

I could "assume" that James died and Mary re-married !!!!!

Thoughts as to how to proceed would be very helpfull.

Hi Maureen,

I have just checked the census and the name is not Mary Pipington but Mary Pennington.

The name of hannah`s mother on the cert is.. Mary Silcock. and the place of the birth is...Woodchurch, Wirrel, Cheshire.

Hi
You beat me to it. It looks like Pinington on the image but I think it is Pennington.
In June qtr 1846 at Liverpool is a poss marriage for Mary Barlow to a George Pennington but there are 6 other people listed on the page so this is not proof that they married each other. I looked for a death for George Pennington but there are lots of them and of course no ages are given until about 1866.
Not much help, sorry
Maureen

Hi Maureen,

Your help is very much appreciated. I think that because those two names are on the same sheet it could possibly be them. You have given me info that I can continue researching. You are an angel, many thanks
