Does anyone know which sections have the new stones. My 3xgt grandmother is buried in Section 5 No. 269 and there are many in the grave, none related, it is also not a purchased grave. I prefer to use the term, public grave rather than pauper.

I have the 1881 and 1891 census on CD's, the street index only points to the odd numbers which seems to be a bit strange.
They married after banns, one witness is the grooms brother, the other is someone from Liverpool, I wonder if they were staying with her at the weekends for the banns.

I wonder if they were lying about their address so they could get married at that church, but still live in St. Helens.

I have a couple who marry in October 1891 at St Nicholas, Liverpool. They lived in St Helens but the bride was under age, she said she was 21 when she was 18, so I believe it is an elopement. The address they give is 64 Ormond Street for him and 42 Ormond Street for her. I can find the Street but no...

I have decided to look at the problem of Joseph Davies from a different angle and started to look at his wife, Catherine Neagle’s family in the hope that there may be a clue there. It has thrown up a mystery that might help, so here is what I have found so far. John NEAGLE was born about 1835, in th...

Frank Davies married Mary Berry in 1918 at Droylsden. The witnesses were Ernest Barker and Harriet Dawson. Harriet Dawson was connected to Mary Berry. They were both living at the same address, 23 Fold Street, Droylsden. In 1911 Frank was living with his parents in Openshaw, Manchester and Mary Berr...

Yes my Gt Grandparents eloped to Liverpool from St. Helens, they stayed at lodgings and gt grandmother's sister and future husband were witnesses. Gt. Grandfather lied about his age, he was 19yrs., and said he was 21yrs. also lied about his fathers occupation, he was a glassmaker and said he was a l...

I've tried to find this couple in 1851, but no luck.

The children of John and Mary Neagle, baker, in 1881 and John and Mary Neagle groom and car driver in 1891, match both couples, only Catherine and Elizabeth are missing. To be honest John and Mary Neagle are bakers at the same address in 1871, so I can only imagine something happened after 1881 to c...

Yes I have the birth certificate of their son, the mother is Catherine, maiden name, Neagle. Joseph's occupation is stationary engine driver. When their son married, his father is still a stationary engine driver, though deceased. There is one possibilty that he lied about his father, when my gt gra...

Just been thinking things through and one thing puzzles me. When they married they gave the address 41 Gloucester Street, which I thought was a lodging house, but when I look at the census, No 37 is a lodging house, 39 isn't and 41 doesn't exist. Why give that address ? At the marriage she says her ...

Thought you had something there, but when I checked he was still in Bickerstaff in 1891, aged 31yrs. and married, now a coal miner.

Thank you for looking, fresh eyes usually see what I don't.

Thank you everyone, this fits in perfectly with what I thought.

A member of my tree died at 74 Wigan Road, Ormskirk, 1939, he lived in Southport. What was at this address, was it the workhouse building or hospital? He died of bronchitis, his niece, who live in St helens, registered his death.

Vanessa

Thank you, I'll do that. Hopefully his records still exist, I've a feeling his brother ended up there in 1905 as well.

Aaron and Joseph Gresty were born in Wigan but moved to St Helens in the late 1880's. The 2 brothers were forever in court for stealing. In the 1901 census Aaron Gresty is in Preston Prison and a search of the A2A website showed a listing of "bill of costs for prosecution of Aaron Gresty for larceny...
