Title: Liverpool marriage lookup please
Post by: ses on Tuesday 20 February 07 21:57 GMT (UK)
I am looking for a marriage record for George Vose and Esther Whitfield, in Liverpool around  1833  possibly at Christ Church, Liverpool. They lived in the Everton area. Any help would be much appreciated.

The only Esther Vose on the 1841 census was living in Bolton Le Moors

She was b 1816 and there was a John Vose b 1811 and Thomas b 1839

She is not on the 1851

There is a George Voce aged 24 living in Liverpool in 1841 but no sign of a wife

1841 Eldon Place Liverpool

George Voise 28 Engineer - not b Lancs
Sarah 25 not b Lancs
William 6
Henry 4


1851 - looks like 1 Great Crosshall Street Liverpool

Sarah Vose 36 widow - lodging house keeper b Sutton Lancs
Henry son 14 b Liverpool
Thomas Whitfield father widower 69 b Hale Lancs - retired farmer
Plus a number of lodgers

1861 - same address but just Sarah & Henry.  Henry's occupation is Letter Carrier - Liverpool Post Office

1871 - 34 Byles St - just Sarah & Henry

1881 - 12 Fairview Place - just Sarah & Henry

1881 - 12 Fairview Place - addition of Annie Dixon - widow aged 54 - servant

Deaths - Sarah Vose 78 June qtr 1891   Toxteth Park
Volume: 8b Page: 211

In 1901 Henry is still at Fairview Place with Annie Dixon

In 1851  son William was working as a servant - b 1835 Liverpool

In 1861, there are 2 possibles - both b 1837 Liverpool and both in lodgings.  One in everton and one in Birkenhead

Thanks feralcat.
Sarah's brother lived in Runcorn so this is very likely my Sarah. I'll follow it up.

Thanks CaroleW,
They were very creative with the spelling weren't they. The Voise family in 1841 are mine. I was confused when I first found it but then had a stroke of luck. In 1851 there are lodgers living with them and one of them with his name spelt wrongly is William Smedley who is Sarah's nephew.

Thanks for all the details and Sarah's death which I didn't have.
