Could someone who has access to the 1891 Census please let me know who this couple are living with, probably in Liverpool and with children with the surname True living with them.

Thanks, Mike.

It certainly adds up, but this was the widow Amelia's 2nd marriage, her 1st husband died in 1887.

They had a number of young children and I was wondering were they might be:

Mary Ellen True would have been 4 in 1891
Rhoda 6
and William John 8

Any ideas please?

Thanks Mike.

Hello PP,

Sorry for the delay, been trying to sort this one out myself.....without success!!

Can you please tell be the birth place of the Hunter's.

I might then be able to find whose the link is to the grandmother.

It could be Jenkinson?


Thanks, Mike.

On the original of that 1891 census Mary Hunter has a son Arthur Smith, 36, carter, born Liverpool making it seem that Mary was previously married to a Smith. I believe that Amelia was from this previous marriage and this is her marriage:

Marriages Mar 1872 (>99%)
