Hello............no not this one............
well that is a sweeping statment but..
I think that there were only 3 children. Albert Edward born 1897 then Donald William in 1901 and then Edith Muriel in 1908.
I am really interested in Edith ..but thought that I might find her parents through Albert..............
Does this make sense......I am grasping at straws to be honest .

sorry - just re-read these
You have Albert Edward born 1887 in one post and 1897 in another - and I have another one- sorry!
I can't see one - there's an 1889 in Leigh and the one I found above born Walton in 1895.
-
righto!
there's albert Stewart, Toxteth aged 3 yrs born 1898- with a whole host of siblings- about 9 children altogether so not him.
-
I can see the births you refer to - perhaps you will just have to send for Edith's birth certificate.
best wishes

Yes, Perhaps you are right.
could you send me the entry of the Albert born in 1898 with a host of siblings...........it might be that that is him!!
and yes failing that I will have to get the birth cert.............. just thought it would help if i had parents names!!!

Parents William and Mary - the youngest child is only 10 months old and the oldest is 17 yrs- I have not written them yet because it does seem so unlikely.
Do you know the exact years of birth of Albert Edward and Donald William?There are a few Donalds around that time (some not with a William though) and the same with Alberts.
There is only one Edith Muriel though so a certificate will be easy enough.
-
I appreciate this enormously.
Albert Edward was registered in Toxteth Park in March 1897
Donald William was registered in toxteth park in Dec 1901
then Edith Muriel was registered in
toxteth park in Dec 1908 her birthday was September 1908.
the family certainly lived in the area but I am not very sure of my locations as I do not know Liverpool very well..........
-
sorry I am repeating myself here- are you certain then from family info perhaps that her brothers were as you said.
What I mean is that, if this information is definite- from the family- then surely if there were other children then you would know that too.
Or, I was wondering if you knew she had at least these two brothers, and had looked the names up on the BMD and then assumed that those ages were right.
Apologies for the seeming inquisition but am really trying to help!!

Hello
Thankyou for replying to me..I had gone away to regroup my ideas!
from what I can gather there were only 3 children in the family.. That might be totally wrong of course! but working on that I assume that Albert Edward is the one on the census with his parents,,,,,,,, the other 2 children come after the census night .............
So I am looking for an Albert Edward aged about 3 years or 4 years living in a family in the Toxteth, Sefton park area of liverpool in 1901.
Have also been in touch with Liverpoool Register office and asked for Birth certificates of Edith and Albert.............. so I
am hopeful to crack this one way or another!!
Regards Mrs Noah

Hi again,
well there is only one 3 yr old Albert Stewart (no Edward) in 1901 that I can see in Toxteth Park and he is the one with lots of siblings which you would have thought would have been known to you - there are so many!
Please post when you receive Edith's certificate so that we can look up/ find out who her parents were.
best wishes

Brilliant.
Thankyou...........
I was thrilled that the census that you had sent was the right one,just shows that what you are told is sometimes not quite the truth!!!!
Of course finding that census has now made me ask a lot of questions!!!!
The marriage will open even more doors.
will keep you posted ...
Thanks again

You may find some of these other children died young and thats why you've never heard of them or they emigrated and everyone forgot about them!
-
.Hello Liverpool Lass.
Thankyou for the thoughts about why the Family never speak of the other Brothers and Sisters.
I am researching this Family for a friend ....his Mothers family and as she was the youngest? it appears that there was no mention of any other brother except Albert and Donald and certainly no sisters.
You know,, the more you learn the less you know.
So now I am detirmined to find out what happened to all the family and also whether there were any children between the borther in 1900 and Edith in 1908.
Thanks so much for your input,
Sallie

Have got the marriage certificate.
The GrandFather was a Police inspector,
where do I go to find out more?? have you any ideas ??
Think the family came 'up' in the late 1800's........which is most interesting....
Do you think a visit to the record Office in Liverpool might throw light onto any more children?? is that where the registers of Sefton etc are kept???
