Of course! 1861. I made a typing error. So sorry, Mike. I'll correct it.

MargaretM -

Please can you just confirm for me that the last post you left on 1st May is in fact 1861 not 1871 census.

Otherwise I'm totally confused !

Oh joy !!!

Thought I'd continue to find Amelia's father's name. Lucky you! John Smith!
1861 census
7 Court Brook St., Liverpool
John Smith, head, 35, carter, born Kirby
Mary, wife, 26, born "
Amelia, dau, 7, born "
Arthur, son, 5, born Liverpool
Henry, son, 2, born "

Lucky you, Mike! Now you've got a Smith in your tree!

Thanks again, this seems to confirm it.

Mike.

1871 census
11 Brook St., Liverpool
Arthur Hunter, head, 36, carter, born Liverpool
Mary, wife, 38, born Kirby
William, son, 3, born Liverpool
Alice, dau, 1, born "
***Amelia Smith, dau, 18, born Kirby
Arthur Smith, son, 15, carter, born Everton
Henry Smith, son, 13, born Liverpool
Thos. Smith, son, 10, born "

Thank you

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%)

Smith Amelia Liverpool 8b 181
TRUE Edmund Bishop Liverpool 8b 181

Thank you.

Mary Hunter, 58, was born Kirby, Lancs., all others born Liverpool.

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.

I see what you're getting at, they didn't marry until 1891 so the chilldren could be hers? i.e. True.
