Two good finds Simone, dghtrs marriage & the census
It's Sessions Road in Kirkdale.
I wonder why Rosa is with her dghtr & where is Tom?

Tina x

Tina, Could have sworn it said Scissors

hmmm yes wonder where Tom is.. The closest I could find was a Thomas J Comer aboard Ship in 1901, in Liverpool dock.. can't be him though as he is born Ilfracombe not Torquay RG13; Piece: 3415; Folio: 138

wonder if he could be in hospital/ workhouse or something, maybe only listed as T C or something

Hi Simone
I found the Thomas J Comer that was on board the ship, in FreeBMD so not our Tom...good try me dear
Do you think "our" Tom went walkabout? that's why his wife is with his dghtr?? and why he's in the workhouse in 1911 instead of being with this kiddies?

Tina

Found these possibles in the 1911:
Institution - COOMBS, Rosina Mary - 1858 - 53 - West Derby - Lancashire.

And this one across the water...
Household - COOMBER, Rosina - 1858 - 53 - Birkenhead - Cheshire.

The ages are very close, so is Rosa really Rosina and in the same workhouse, West Derby, as husband Tom but they got her surname wrong?

Trying to find out if Rosa had other forenames, and assuming the only marriage for a Tom Coombes that I could find (to Rosa Baker - Mar 1871 - Totnes - 5b - 288) was the right one, I found this Devon birth:
Baker, Rosina Mary Briscoth - Barnstaple - 5b - 405. Possible good match for the West Derby Rosina above?

Dickiesam

thank you Simone and Tina .and Dickiesam
the mystery deepens ,why did they all live together and where was Tom ?,their son Tom died at the Royal Hospital but mothers address was given as 26 Candia street , this is the first time 28 Sessions Rd has been mentioned , Richard (brother in law) was my g/father, Rosa Coombe was Rosa Baker before marriage, thanks again Doe and

Hi Doe
You wouldn't have Sessions Rd before as that was her daughters address.
1894 Directory for 26 Candia St has a Robert Dunn painter.

Tina

Have you the Rosa in 1861 census with her father William??

Hi folks
Simone..my apols I should have put her age as 4yrs.
How many of them are in Devon & William Bakers too??
1861 lists her birthplace as Exeter so I'm not sure if this is our lass as in
later census it states Dawlish & Torquay.
Just a shot in the dark I feel.
I've tried to find them in next census, no show except for a ROSENA listed as niece.
I'm sorry, not of much help to everyone.

Tina

Ok Tina thanks thought it didn't look right

See you later

Simone....thanks Darls

Tina

hello folkes
after a very long search I have found Tom Coombe in west derby workhouse aged 63 on the1911 census listed as widower, but no sign of his wifes death Rosa , now trying to find both of their deaths . if anyone out there can perform miracles I am in need of one
thanks for any past help you have given me
Doe 7631

Difficult I think you might have a choice for Rosa, born about 1857 (1901) or 1854 (1891) and I think you could include the Rosa in the 1911 census in the Workhouse 1858 (1911) since there doesn't appear to be a death entry prior to 1911.

Rosa D Coombes died Q2 1938 age 80 Liverpool North 8b 479
Rosina Coombes died Q1 1936 age 79 Liverpool South 8b 212

I think it would be worth your while to check out the registers of the workhouse before proceeding with death certs.

thanks Mary ,how do I find the workhouse records ? afraid senior moments are setting in
Doe 7631

There are a variety of Workhouse Registers and Minute Books held at the Record Office, however I don't know what dates would be on microfilm or which might be held at the satellite office in Sandhills. I think Roger Hull would be best able to advise what dates are where, contact details for the Record Office http://www.liverpool.gov.uk/libraries-a ... y-history/
