Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

Thanks Alex will give it a try.

Thanks Bert did not know about that approach. A quick search revealed nowt.
Maybe a bridge too far.

Mary thanks have tried all alternatives.

Hi all I received an email from a lady who has sight problems and has asked for help about Joseph Glavesky who lived and died in Liverpool, buried in Ford Cemetry. Joseph came from Lithuania although census entries say Poland, Russia. I have done all the Ancestry, Findmypast, Lancs bmd etc and have ...

Yup that's all the same stuff I have.
It's one of those annoying loose ends that need tidying. Unfortunately John was born c1809 and the John (mine) from Old Haymarket c1807. It looks like John 1807 and his wife had no issue.

Thanks to all I'll have to put this one away again.

OK 1861 Census 55 Christian Street John Jolliffe 52 Eating house keeper born Liverpool Ann Jolliffe 47 born Liverpool Sarah Jolliffe 21 born Liverpool John Jolliffe 13 born Liverpool Catherine Jolliffe 11 born Liverpool This is not the same family at 27 Stafford Street 1861, Old Haymarket 1851 and T...

Bert can't thank you enough. It just shows how great the folks are on our forum.

And Mary I intended to join Scotlands People today (Sunday) but thought I'd check my emails first ... phew that was a good move.

Joe no doubt no Elf an safety then

Bert you are a star, thank you.

Thanks Bert looks like the marriage. I don't have access to Scotland's people hence me being unable to find his first marriage.

I can't make out Catherine's father's surname it could be Stewart, his forename was Robert.

Thanks again.

OK you clever lot bet you can't find this one. The same Tom Andrew Joliffe married Catherine Dickinson 16th June 1910 at St Giles Register Office. The marriage certificate states he was 28 and a widower ! She widow. Previous marriage is nowhere to be found !! A little puzzle for a Satutday evening a...

Thanks to everyone for your help. I knew I'd get the answers here.

Hi Hilary, yes that's him, he was a ship owner and had a younger brother Thomas. Can you let me have piece number etc please. I've searched 1861 census without any luck.
The school entry may well be him again can you let me have details please.

Thanks for your help

I have Thomas Andrew Jolliffe born 1850 in Hull. I can find him on 1851 census in Hull and at 50 Upper Parliment Street 1871 and 1881 but can I find him or his family in 1861 !! his father was William (born 1815) and mother Jane. Thomas A died in 1889. He had a son Thomas(Tom) Andrew born 1883 who I...

Thanks to all for your help.

Another can(s) of worms opened as there is no mention anywhere of an Ann/Mary Jollife just Errington and now a widow .

Still if it was quick and easy there'd be no fun !

Hi Bert, that's the family next to the Thirkells. Now the good news I've looked at the 1844 marriage on freereg and it is the correct one William Dunn (widower) and Ann Errington (widow) father Thomas Jollife (mariner). I have a screen grab from Wallsend BT for the marriage 19 Dec 1844. I thought ma...

I've seen the 1844 marriage but not convinced it's correct as the will clearly states Andrew Dunn hence the question.

What are the death details for Thomas please, and where was he born and when? Born 9 Aug 1819 in Hull And can you give the references for the 1851 census for Mary Ann. 30 Church Road, West Side ,Tynemouth HO107/2410/70 page 56 Puzzled as to why he is a William not Andrew, does the Will state that he...

Thomas Jolliffe's will of 1877 contains a reference to "My sister" Mary Ann Dunn and her husband Andrew. His sister may have been Mary Errington as I believe she was a 1/2 sister. The 1851, 61 and 71 census have a Mary Ann and a William Dunn from Tynemouth (North Shields)in Northumberland then Birke...

Open an image roughly in the area, at the top left is a breadcrumb menu. By clicking on Liverpool a drop down district menu appears , choose the district then ed etc and browse away.

The above works on Ancestry not tried FMP

Note to self "Engage brain before asking stupid questions"

Have sorted it.

Just as an observation, because the computer says NO doesn't mean it's not there. They are there but computer says NO

I have a reference of HO107/557/14 Folio14 Ed 19 family of Davies.
Anyone know how to view the page on Ancestry or FMP as the search engines do not find the family

Over to you clever clogs
