Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

In my family tree, my 2x great grandparents are Henry Ribton Hoskins and Mary Seaman Dawson daughter of Richard Dawson 1783-1850.

Mary's brother Richard Pudsey Dawson married Louisa Elizabeth Shuttleworth daughter of Thomas Starky Shuttleworth of Preston.

Could these Shuttleworth's be related to
James Shuttleworth who married Mary Holden in 1742 (successor of her father Robert Holden of Aston Hall).

Given several lines of Liverpool nobility that are interconnected, there is a James Shuttleworth age 23 who shows up in another family line in the 1891 census at 70 Kensington St. With James and Sarah Holden and their children George, Jane and James.

In the 1901 Census it shows James Shuttleworth has married Jane Holden and they are living at 57 Guelph St.

In 1891 it lists James Shuttleworth as a mariner, and given the Dawson Shuttleworth connection and that the Dawson's were very involved in Liverpool shipping, I am wondering if there is a possible set of Dawson Holden Shuttleworth connections appearing in the tree.

Any assistance on these questions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ken,

Snippets from the Lancaster Gazette, 1890, 19th Century Newspapers.
Can't upload everything available. Have you already got access?

Thank you Bert!

I don't have access yet, how do I sign up for that?

I am working on digging out some interesting connections between the families and I'm curious to see if it connects to my grand uncle James Shuttleworth.

Hi Ken,

I access the papers through my local library, however I think becoming a member online of Lancashire Libraries allows access, I'm not sure if living in Canada allows it, Mary may know and will help.

I don't think James Shuttleworth/Jane Holden is connected to Thomas Starkie Shuttleworth,

I know there are people who have been able to use their Lancashire Library card in other countries but I suspect they used a mailing address in England to receive it and for the initial sign up. Do you have a relative in this country to be able to do this?

I live in France and can access the Lancashire Library records on line. Once you register you will be issued with a password.

Did you register with your own address? The site seems to suggest that you need to be in the UK.

I just used my normal e-mail address. It was some time ago so maybe they've changed the criteria.

I checked the form and they ask for an address.
