Hi Mo
Many thanks for your look-up, yes this is my John Rowlands and family, Thomas was my Great Grandfather. A few surprises as to the Welsh connection, though I had a feeling it maybe , just through looking at trade directories for Liverpool.
As to Thomas Clarke Garry, my Great-grandmother was his daughter, Annie Craige Garrry, she would have been about 14 in 1871 and was born in Harrington, Cumberland. In 1878 she married Thomas Rowlands and the Shakespeare Street address is on the Marriage certficate. I know from trade directories that there was a Thomas Clarke Garry in Harrington 1829 who was a ship owner, however I am not sure if he was another generation back, or my great- great-grandfather was much older when my great-grandmother was born.
I have just come across a death entry for a Thomas Garrey aged 78 for June 1871, so perhaps this may have been him. or Thomas Clarke Garrey the Ship Owner,
once again many thanks for your help, it was so kind of you.
regards
Cathal.
