Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

Hi, I wonder if you can give me help on Joseph Jameson and his family? He was born in 1854 in St Helens, father William Jameson and mother is Annie Maria nee Taylor. In 1881 he is a pawnbroker and is married to Alice Dutton (they married in West Derby in 1875) who is born in Runcorn. He has 2 children, Emmeline Florence born 1877 in Widnes (I think she died in 1886) and William born ca. 1880 also in Widnes. I cannot find any trace of them in subsequent census returns. I imagine this William is the boy mentioned in the newspaper report of Mary Doyle's accident and subsequent death. I would be grateful for any information you may be able to find.

Thank you.

Hi Anna
Emmeline's death is rego'd in Prescot dec qtr 1886 aged 9yrs,
how very sad.
Mary has found Alice in 1891 listed as married, I wonder where Joseph was?

Tina

Hi Anna
St.Maries Baptism register shows 4 children born to Joseph and Alice (nee Dutton) Jameson.
Gulielmus born 30 Jun 1880 baptised 19 Jun 1881 godparents Daniel Green & Emma Jameson.
Florence Emelina born 2 Dec 1876 bap. 19 Jun 1881 g/parents Jacobus Carroll & Lillian Jameson
Anna Wilhelmfrida born 31 Dec 1884 bap. 4 Jan 1885 godparents Joannes Whelan & Linda Jameson.
Josephine Linda born 21 Dec 1886 bap. 26 Dec 1886 godparents Eduardus Doyle & Linda Jameson.
hope this helps a little.

Hi Chris
Well done!
Looking at baptisms, the family seem have their own names for their kiddies in 1891 census.
I'm not sure if this is them in 1901 as Alice is 40?
Joseph 41 chemical labr, Annie 12, William 10? the 2nd one?, Joseph 7, Mary 4, James 1yr.
77 James St Widnes.

Hi Tina
Yes saw them, it is still the same area of Widnes, but because of ages I'm not sure if it is same family.?

Nooo be very careful - there are two Joseph and Alice Jamesons in Widnes and that is the incorrect one as they can be traced further backwards.

Thanks for the tip Mary!

Tina

I see godparents Edward Doyle & Linda Jameson married in 1888
The other godmothers, Lilian & Emma married their hubby's in 1883, I wonder if they had a double wedding??
I love a bit of romance

Tina

Tina, I know that they got married in the same quarter of 1883, but I haven't got their certs yet - must do that. It would be lovely to think that they had a double wedding wouldn't it? I know that Lillian had no children, but Emma had a least two.
