Directory look-up, 1901/2

[MaryA]

Think maybe there is an error in the 1903 then.

My thoughts are, with Mary being buried at Toxteth Cemetery and alone, not a family grave, suggests the family was living in or part of 10 Alexandra Dr (16 rooms). If they were sill living in Oxton, it's likely she would have been buried at Flaybrick.

The family are at Columbia Rd, in the Liverpool 1900 Directory and the 1901 census, they don't appear in the 1902 Kelly's directory of Cheshire, private residents section. Mrs Powles, Columbia Rd does, so the road was included.

Francis A M Kirby appears in the 1906 and 1910 Cheshire directories, private residents sections at,
Raynham. Meols Drive, Cheshire.

I see her husband Francis Arthur Marlow Kirby didn't die until 1930 in Hoylake, Cheshire, one of those named in the Probate being Annie Josephine Kirby, widow, would that be another wife or a daughter in law?

FreeBMD has a potential marriage for Francis Arthur M Kirby to Annie Josephine Wilkinson in Hampstead(!) in Q1 1905.

So..in 1900 he was in Liverpool, 1901 in Birkenhead, 1902 possibly back in Liverpool, 1905 in Hampstead, 1906 in Hoylake. He certainly liked to move around!

Has anyone managed to find Mary in the 1901 census?

Marriage,

I have been off the air for a bit, but thank you all for taking an interest in this puzzle and for your findings and suggestions.
My original post was to try to discover whether Mary Kirby was possibly ill and in a nursing home or similar, but it seems that her address as given in the probate record was a private residence.
Nothing has turned up for her as either Kirby or Pennycook in the 1901 census.
Her husband's second marriage at Hampstead shows he had not moved south, as his address shown in the register was Hoylake.
I think we may draw the curtains on this one now. Thanks again.
