I am having difficulty finding birth records for these two ladies...Mary J Nelson.b 1845 Birkenhead ..England..and Agnes C Nelson. b 1846 Liverpool Lancashire.Eng. father James Nelson..mother Agnes....
These are the records on Ancestry.....and John Nelson..b 1843..??
These people are on the 1851 Census..Camberwell..England..but I suspect this transcription could be wrong...Dale... :-S

They may not have been registered. It wasn't compulsory before 1875

If they are on census with parents then looking for the marriage will give mums maiden names

The transcription isn't wrong
1851 census
England & Scotland Census Transcription
Bradshaw Street, Saint Giles Camberwell, Camberwell, Surrey, England
James Nelson Head Married Male 33 1818 Accountant Ireland

Agnes Nelson Wife Married Female 34 1817 - Ireland

James Nelson Son - Male 10 1841 - Ireland

John Nelson Son - Male 8 1843 - Ireland

Mary J Nelson Daughter - Female 6 1845 - Birkenhead, Cheshire, England

Agnes C Nelson Daughter - Female 5 1846 - Liverpool, Lancashire, England


So as the two sons were born in Ireland as were the parents,then they were married before coming over to Liverpool

There are 3 family trees on ancestry for this family ............ none seem to have found anything for Mary or Agnes apart from the 1851 Census.
