I have a record of Henry Mossop (my Great Grandfather x 2) marrying Jane Stotters in Bootle Cumberland in 1853. I cannot find any record of Jane's birth, in England or Scotland. Nor can I find her in 1841 or 1851 census. Is it possible that she was adopted and born with a different name?
Can anybody help please?

My grandmother Margaret Eleanor Clint was, I believe, born in Cockermouth in 1891. She married Samuel Gaskell in Southport in 1914
In my youth i recall being told that there was a connection with the Bell family in Whitehaven, and Billy Bell's barber shop was pointed out to me when I passed through as a teenager. I believe that Billy arrived from the Isle of Man in the 1870's. Does anybody have any idea what the connection might be?

Thank you, I think that Alice and Cicely may well have been twins, as an Alice Gaskell crops up later and remains a family name for several generations. Sadly no more information about Sarah's ancestry which is where I hoped to go.

Your Great Grandmother was a witness at the wedding of her sister (my nan) Sarah Helen to George Albert Nash Skillicorn.  in Razor Church in 1912. The skillicorns were a well to do family in Kington and family tradition has it that they did not approve of their son's marriage to a domestic servant and boycotted the ceremony. Certainly no Skillicorn was a witness although Bert had a sister with the unusual name of Guyena. However after Bert's tragic death as a POW in 1918 his mother Rachel Skillicorn (her husband John died in 1915) became more forgiving and accepted my mum Joan (Marjore Nina Joan).
Elizabeth's mother Maggie died in 1932 at Henrietta's home in Bulmer Ave. Hereford. It looks as though the family gathered there at the end because my nan reported the death.
