Living at 7 New Rd, Tuebrook, 1911 census,

Alice Hall, widow
Elsie Hall, 4
Emily Hall, 1

relationship to head of household, sister in law and nieces.

Thomas Critchley, head
Emily Critchley, wife,
family,

Thomas Critchley married Emily Lancaster, 1899.
William Henry Hall married Alice Lancaster, 1897.

This is definitely my great grandfather. I cannot understand why his wife Alice would be looking for her husband ! ! (2nd post at start of this). Lyh

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. Great information. I am related to Joseph Lucas (Lucas headlights etc) through the Hall family. I am struggling to find the connection. Someone mentioned a Mary Owen (connected to a Robert Hall and a Martha). Quite a long (very long!) shot but Joseph Lucas' second wife was a Mary Owen. Does anyone have any information or ideas on how I can connect all this up ? Thank you.

I think this will be moved to elsewhere on the forum.

The image below is the probate of Mary Ann Lucas,


The 2 Owen gentlemen are the sons of George Owen,

Sons,

Herbert George Owen, 1876, Aston.

George Owen, born, 1848, Bromsgrove, Mothers maiden name, Chambers.

Mary Ann Owen, born, 1851, Bromsgrove, mmn, Chambers.

Mary Ann was Joseph's 3rd wife,
Can you help us with dates, etc. Robert Hall/Martha?

I only transcribe what is in the Missing Friends Column.

The advert was in the Weekly Courier for 3 weeks.

Try looking in the 1911 census and see if she was on her own. If I get a minute I will have a look.

Not knowing their ages or places of birth, nothing jumps out at me . Sorry

Lynne,

Census information a few posts back.

Oops read that but it did not register. If she thinks her husband may still be alive, can he be found in the 1911 census? Or 1904 directories? I'll go and put my brain back in.

Just thought this deserved a post of it's own so I've split it from

Thank you so much for all this information. I have managed to trace Bach to GGG paternal grandparents.

Not sure where to put this messege for Mary.

I have not been asked for a subscription. I have received so much help recently. Can you advise?

Mary is not feeling 100% at the moment, but she will get back to you shortly and she will tell you how to join our wonderful family History society.

MaryA is actually feeling great but computer seats aren't the most comfortable at present so my time online is limited

Here is our Society page, see either the link to the right or the button in the left list to "Join" and I hope you enjoy the benefits of our Group.

Don't be daft I know you were, just letting you know things are progressing well

Thanks Mary. Glad you are on the mend. Hope you will be really better by Christmas.

Hello.

I have managed to trace all my family back to great, great great grandparents both maternal and paternal. I was sent a wrong birth certificate by Liverpool BDM. This led me barking up the wrong tree!
Also great grandfather had 2 marriages the first no one had ever mentioned. I have enjoyed searching my family and I am now in touch with my cousin by email. Another great cousin is in contact with me through the ancestry site. I am going to keep my contact open here as there are a few little tweeks to find. I started this search all the first males born carry the middle name Lucas. I found Joseph Lucas (from Lucas headlight dynasty) is my great, great uncle.
A huge, huge thank you to you all for you help. What a wonderful site this is. lyh
