Title: William Dixon
Post by: *sara* on Wednesday 13 March 24 15:05 GMT (UK)
Hi
I have found an ancestor William Dixon on census records.

I would like to find a marriage and baptism and possibly take it back to his parents

I have him on the 1861 census living with wife Ellen  and 5 children.

They are in West Derby
Household schedule number 48
Piece 2703
Folio 66
Page 7

Many thanks for any further info on this person
Sara  :)

This looks like the correct family. 
As it is his daughter Ann Dixon I am following.  And a couple of generations below Ann, there is a middle name if Molyneux

Thankyou 😊

Thanks Rosie.

Not seeing a marriage for them  :-\

At 36 in 1851 she was old enough to have been married before.

So interesting.

Is it possible they got married in 1874?  ???

It is easy to check the GRO index for birth registrations of possible children following marriages which makes it easier to track them down on the following census.  As I mentioned they were registering births

In 1881 that family are at

Not sure if this relates to the same William Dixon, butcher on Sara’s other post “finding Ellen’s parents”

Many thanks for your replies. 
Yes it is the same family. 
I was trying to take it further back than William. 
Marriage and birth of William and then parents..

Many thanks for your help  :)
