Royal Navy and Merchant Seamen

Hey, you're right.
I had found another Samuel son of Mary Memery. Not mine.

This is the tenth child. I knew they lost one of ten (9 survived, stated in the 1901 census.)
- now I found his death in 1900 as well as the birth. A mystery solved.
Thank you!
and goodnight....

... what was she before she married??

Could she be ... the widow of a brother?

Henry D Memery married Marguerite Cousins in Q2 1931:

John Edward Memery, Seaman, son of James Memery, Seaman, married Lucy Boileau in Drumcondra, Dublin, on 11th February, 1927.

John's address was 44 Carleton Road, Marino. On the face of it, he was still living in Dublin.

Griffith's Valuation of Dublin in the mid-1850's has a James Memory in Monkstown, close to where you have placed them later. May be worth looking at:

The name is mis-spelt with an 'o', so doesn't come up on a search of 'Memery'.

Wow I woke up this morning and am amazed at how much has been posted on this. First of all the topic has been changed so that it's obvious it's your post.

As for the Marguerite Memery marriage, luxor is right, if you check the indexes both she and Arthur W have the same year, quarter and reference, and also the name next to theirs who they married, so definitely each other.

I have Arthur's marriage but don't know her maiden name.

Marguerite Memery, Q1 1937?

Marriages Mar 1937
Brand Thomas Tasker Liverpool N. 8b 826
Memery Arthur W Memery Liverpool N. 8b 826
Memery Marguerite Memery Liverpool N. 8b 826
Tasker Doris Brand Liverpool N. 8b 826

3 Children from Memery/Cousins, 1931 marriage, probably be found with Arthur, 1939.

Births Dec 1931
Memery Noneen F Cousins W.Derby 8b 1035
Births Mar 1933
Memery Ann A Cousins W.Derby 8b 1044
Births Sep 1934
Memery Henry D Cousins W.Derby 8b 1065

[Bertieone]

Children born in Birkenhead who possibly connect with the Woodchurch Lane Address.

Births Dec 1937
Memery Frances E Cousins Birkenhead 8a 711
Births Mar 1939
Memery Laura H Cousins Birkenhead 8a 805

[A subscription to FMP includes the British Newspaper Archive. It would be interesting to search for the ship names after you've established them.]

Hi everyone. Thanks for all the new info.

MaryA was that marriage record from FreeBMD? I see now, I hadn't found this .

Luxor, looks like I need a sub to findmypast - I did have one but not now!
Especially pleased about the missing child Samuel.

I'm pausing for a day or two, will be back - Alison

Yes I did find it there as that was where I looked not knowing if you had a subscription to a paid site, however the indexes are the same everywhere.

Have you tried your local library? In Liverpool we have access to both Ancestry and Findmypast available for free in the main library, worth trying one near to you. Alternatively try and use a two week free trial, it often works even if you have had a previous subs. or try a different debit card.
