Help to find William Molyneux 1841 and 1851 census please

Post by slewis »

Hi
Please can you help, I am looking for William Molyneux born abt 1823 Liverpool.
I have found him in 1861 living in Northamton street, Liverpoold, his occupation was Rigger, and in 1881 living at 5 Gasccoyne street occupation Rigger.
William married Elizabeth Collier in 1849 the children I have found so far are Elizabeth born abt 1849 and John born abt 1855, and that is all the infomation I have on him.
If any one can help find him I would really apprciate it.
Regards Sue

In 1861 daughter Elizabeth A is either 2 or 5 years old, making her born either 1859 or 1856.

Are you aware that there is also a James Molyneux boarding with the next door family. He's 28 unmarried and a porter, born Liverpool. If you think he might be related, maybe it will help finding them earlier.

The 1881 census also says that he's been "Parilised 25 years" in case you hadn't seen the image.

I think you will need to get the marriage certificate to identify his father before we can find him earlier.

I saw the John you mention

hes at 19 Northampton St in 1871 aged 37 b Lpool wife Margaret age 27 Son dau Eliza age 7 and son John age 5..

Not a clue about the 9, not even sure that it didn't start out as a 1 with a circle added on later, but even the age isn't clear as to whether it should be 5 or 2.

How on earth William can do a job as rigger if he's paralysed, amazes me.

The date of the marriage and the age of the children don't really add up with me either Colette.

Sue can you confirm whose birth certificate you got the mother's name from and let us have the details - date of birth, father's occupation and address.

Hi Mary, Colett and Tina
Thank you for the help, no I didn't see that William was parilised, as you said how could he be a Rigger.
On his son John wedding certificate it also say's Rigger for father occupation, John married in 1879 age 25

I did see James age 28 I think he could be related.

I got the info with wife name and age of children from an old aunt, who started to look at this side of the family history a long time ago, ( I should have check it out first :oops: ) I think I will have to send for John birth crtificates my self and go from there.

The IGI has a Elzabeth Anna Christening: 15 JAN 1854 St Nicholas, Liverpool and birth 14 Dec 1855, also John Christening: 15 JAN 1854 St Nicholas, so Mary you were spot on with Elizabeth age.
Thank you all for your time and help I do appreciate it
Kind regard Sue :)

Hi all

I too think that nephew John born c1866 is the son of John & Margaret.. so that makes John ..William's brother John was born c 1834 and William c 1824.. so gotta be other siblings for these two.. at a push i would say their mother was called Eliza.. seen as though both men call their daughters Eliza. I'm not saying this as fact but guessing really..

As to there whereabouts in 1851 & 1871..they should be in the same area as they haven't gone far from Northanmpton St to Gascoyne St.

Hi Col

Well done :D Looks like Molyneux to me.

Was thinking they may be in Prussia Street though :?: Can see Ray St on page before and after, but looking at image it doesn't look like that for the one they are in. So... read the enumerators description and I think the name of the Road on the left hand side of the image could be Prussia St.. under where it says Cellar

Molyneux

Post by colette »

Hi

I had a look around Reason Court Ray St in 1851 just to see where there any Molyneux's floating about there.. but there wasn't.. If William was the son of Ellen she must have died by 1851..

There is a John Molyneux --Ellen Hall marriage in Liverpool St Peters 1801

Theres a few John and Ellen births sometimes saying Hall sometimes not.
There is a William born 1824 St Peters & John 1822 St Peters..

I know the John we found with Margaret was born later than this 1833ish.. but we can't be sure he was connected to your William.. I have noticed a few Molyneux's living around the Howard St Ward..

HiColette and Simone
Again thank you for your time and help.

If and it look's good to me the family in 1841 is William's, the brother John born in 1822 could have died and mother Ellen had another son named John, its possible.
Thank you also for all the info on Elizabeth and her family.

I have just sent off for William' son John Molyneux born 1854 birth certificate to confirm Elizabeth maiden name, as now I am begining to think its Not Collier, as my aunt said when I get the certificate I wlllet you know.
Thankyou so much kind regards
Sue
