Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

Help please I have been facing the brick wall for years with this very common name.
I have recently learnt that a marriage between John Lloyd and Margaret Shields in 1888. John was born in Liverpool in 1860 so the family might be on the 1861 Census.
But his father is my sticking point. He might be called William married to a Margaret I think he came from Wales but any facts would be very welcome indeed.Thank you.

Hi Genie,
This could be them in 1861
Class: RG9; Piece: 2705; Folio: 110; Page: 48; GSU roll: 543015.
William Lloyd aged 28 married to Mary A aged 26
William born Llangollea, Wales
living Toxteth park
Children Sarah 6, Adelaid 3 and John 1
Let me know if you need further details

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Chris's find looks good, however, to confirm it your next step is to discover John's father's name and occupation by means of the marriage certificate.

If you change the heading of your post to "Marriage look up - St Martins" if somebody is going to the Rcord Office they might be good enough to check the details for you to save you ordering the certificate.

John Lloyd married Margaret Ellen Shields at Liverpool, St. Martin between October and December, 1888..

In case you need to order the certificate, the reference numbers you need as well as the above details are Liverpool district 8b 75.

Thank you both for your help, I'll send for the marriage cert.

Dont know if this helps or hinders.. but thats the John Lloyd with Margaret Ellen Shields..

Do you have any children of John you know of ????

Well done Colette. I think that's a lesson in not taking for granted what we think we may know and also to take things step by step instead of a big jump!

Hi Mary and thanks..

Genie can you give us a break down of exactly what you know for sure about this John Lloyd..any small clue you have .. his occupation or any of his childrens names etc..

Regards

Im in the middle of transcribing St Martins marriages for around about that time. When I get on my laptop later I will have a look up for you. Hope youve not already sent for the cert.

I've PM'd Genie the image for the marriage. the details on it are
7th Oct 1888 John Lloyd age 27 Married Margaret Ellen Shields age 27 He was a Cooper and the address given was 40 Ashfield St for both of them. James's father was also called James - a shoe maker and Margaret's father was William - a Labourer
Witnesses were James Lightbody and Mary Shields

Thanks Linda, that seems to confirm Colette's research.
