Hi,
Could somebody kindly look up the family of Mary Wilson born abt 1860/1
She could be Mary Jane. l have nothing on her other than she married Thomas Graham in 1879 and lived at 58 Cathcart Street, Birkenhead. On the 1881 census there are Wilsons living at 59 but are to young to be her parents.
many thanks

Thank you, Mo and Darcy your help is much appreciated.
Mo, l think yours could be the one as Mary and Thomas had a son called abraham along with a few others Thomas, william, Richard and my grandfather John, so will search that family further.
Darcy, l will not give up on yours, who knows when doing family history weird things happen ::)
cheers

Could anyone say what sort of accommodation 62 Morpeth Buildings, Birkenhead, was like in 1871 census. Ancestor Thomas Green, 60, boatman, born Runcorn, wife Louise 45, born Bethnal Green and Annie Ellen Morgan aged 7 stepdaughter.
Thank you for any help.

Hi, Liverbird50. Morpeth Buildings was a tenement building. If you google, wikiwirral and search on the site for Morpeth Buildings it shows a photograph of the buildings.

Could you please start your own thread it gets confusing having someone else's names when they don't belong to your tree.
many thanks

Sorry to confuse Tarnee, knuckles duly rapped. I am a newby, and no idea how this complicated forum set up works, so sorry again.
