Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage 1866 Ulverston John Hesketh/ Mary Ann Pratt

Hi, thank you for your continued interest in this. I'm a bit behind with my family history searches just recently - life has been getting in the way these last few months and still is- but I have noted your findings and thoughts and hopefully I will be able to get back into it all soon.   Thank you all once again 😊

That is a possibility but I think their John may have died as an infant.
I need to send for the marriage certificate of John and Mary Ann then go from there.
Thank you for your help.

Thank you.
Mary Ann seems to be straight forward. John on the other hand gives Ulverston, Preston, Fylde and I think there is a census with Rosacre too ( which I know would come under Fylde).
Just want to make sure I'm following the right Hesketh branch going back.

Thank you everyone. I never thought to look on Cumbriabmd.
His place of birth seems to change depending which census you find him on so he's a bit confusing.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Duke Street Liverpool 1901

Hi, sorry for the late response. Yes this is the family. Henry was my 2xgreat grandfather although I have only worked this out through DNA and family hearsay and a lot of detective work over the last 10 years or so.  I am just researching other members of this family to see what happened to them (I'm nosey!). ;D
A roper was a rope maker. As far as I know John was called John but who knows. I had a grandfather called John but was always Jack to family and friends. His wife, my grandmother, was Ellen but everyone called her Nellie! ;D

He was born in 1839 Tarleton, Lancs. He did not marry as far as I know. On his admission to the workhouse in 1903 it says single, and his brother Henry(my 2x great grandfather) of Leyland is given as relation.

21 Duke Street today looks quite large. If it is the same house in 1901 I am thinking it was probably a boarding house. It would just be good to confirm this or otherwise.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Duke Street Liverpool 1901
« on: Friday 26 February 21 16:11 GMT (UK)  »
I am researching the life of a 3xgreat uncle, John Hull. He was admitted to Liverpool Workhouse in 1903 and his address is given as 21 Duke Street. He is still in the workhouse in 1911 according to the census. He died in 1915 in the workhouse infirmary but under rank/profession his death certificate states he was of 21 Duke Street, formerly a mercantile Seaman.
I am trying to find 21 Duke Street in the 1901 census but not had any success. I can't find John anywhere on the 1901 census, perhaps he was at sea, but just wondering who was at Duke Street.

Can anyone help please?
Thank you
