Does anyone have any information about a Peter Quinn, a sailor in 1891. He died between 1894 and 1901, leaving a wife Elizabeth. They lived at New Hedley Street, Liverpool?
Other family names being researched are Moran and Mannering.
Thanks

Phil, is this the man you're looking for?

Hi Steve
Thanks for that but unfortunately I do not think so. I have it that hewas married to Elizabeth Moran in March Quarter 1880 at Liverpool Register Office. We believe that he died between 1894 and 1901 as Elizabeth was shown as widow in 1901 census but they had a child born 1894.
I was wondering if there was anywhere to show which ship he might have been on?
Thanks again for your help

Phil, have you got Elizabeth's age and place of birth from the 1901 census? That would help.
Unfortunately, the 1891 search shows up no Peter Quinns on board vessels at census time, and the Peter Quinn in Bootle is the only one I can see listed as a 'sailor'. But there are lots of other related maritime occupations.
For example, there's one here whose wife is Elizabeth:
RG12/2966 folio 47 page 36
7, Elstow Street, Kirkdale, Liverpool
QUINN, Peter J Head Married 45 Ship Rigger b. USA
QUINN, Elizabeth Wife Married 31 b. Liverpool
ROBERTS, Samuel Father in Law Widower 68 Labourer Tea Warehouse
b. Carnarvon
QUINN, Frank A Brother Single 36 Mariner b. USA
DENHOLM, William Boarder Single 35 Miller b. Scotland
GREEN, Joseph Boarder Single 49 Mariner b. Devonshire
Sadly, the father-in-law is called Roberts, not Moran!

Hi Steve
Elizabeth was born in March Quarter 1860 in Liverpool.
Thanks again

Well, in 1891 there are just three matches for an Elizabeth Quinn aged about 31, born in Liverpool.
One of them, as previously mentioned, is the one married to the US-born ship rigger Peter Quinn.
The second is this one. She's married to a sailor, but he's called Thomas, not Peter. Could either Peter or Thomas be his middle name, do you think?
RG12/2964 folio 63 page 9
62 Wykeham Street, Kirkdale, Liverpool
QUINN, Thomas Head Married 38 Seaman b. Liverpool
QUINN, Elizabeth Wife Married 31 b. Liverpool
TRAYNOR, Phillip Son 12 Scholar b. Liverpool
LAWRENCESON, John Lodger Single 27 Plate Layer b. Liverpool
The third Elizabeth is married to a plumber in Manchester called James.
Can't see any other possibilities right now.

Hi Steve
I believe that Elizabeth was living at 89 Hedley Street, Liverpool in the 1891 census - Peter was not with them.

You're right. I think this might have been mis-transcribed in the index, as the writing is quite difficult to read. Possibly Peter was at sea?
RG12/2905 folio 22 page 9
89 Hedley Street, Liverpool
Elizabeth Quinn head married 31 b. Liverpool
Mary Quinn daughter 10 b. Liverpool
John Quinn son 12 b. Liverpool
Catherine Quinn daughter 8 b. Liverpool
Elizabeth Quinn daughter 5 b. Liverpool
Ellen Quinn daughter 2 b. Liverpool
Mary Moran mother widow 70 b. Ireland
Mother's name is a good clue!
I had a look back to 1861 and found this possibility for a young Elizabeth Moran:
RG09/2678 folio 68 page 30
33 Watkinson Street, Liverpool
MORAN, John Head Married 45 Dock Labourer b. Ireland
MORAN, Mary Wife Married 43 b. Ireland
MORAN, John Son Unmarried 19 Blacksmith b. Liverpool
MORAN, William Son 13 Blacksmith b. Liverpool
MORAN, Elizabeth Daughter 14months b. Liverpool
Also, this could be Peter Quinn and his family in 1861 family (note Hedley Street). No parents present, though.
RG09/2657 folio 139 page 11
50 Hedley Street, Liverpool
QUINN, Mary Head Unmarried 17 House Keeper b. Liverpool
QUINN, Jeremiah Brother 14 Scholar b. Ireland
QUINN, Catherine Sister 12 Scholar b. Bolton
QUINN, Elizabeth Sister 10 Scholar b. Liverpool
QUINN, Ellen Sister 7 Scholar b. Liverpool
QUINN, Peter Brother 5 Scholar b. Liverpool
QUINN, Joseph Brother 2 b. Liverpool
Hope that helps.
