Cheshire / Re: Help with look up for 1st Cousin 1 x rem in Birkenhead

It does go back a bit further, if correct.

Alice Croasdale was the daughter of John Croasdale, 1800-1856 in Liverpool, and Margaret Williams, 1817-1884 in Liverpool.

Then William Croasdale, b 1772, no wife listed, and Edward Williams and Elizabeth Hughes, but no details.

There is a William Croasdale baptised on 20th January 1771, in Tatham Fell, diocese of Blackburn, son of William of Ballshaw.

I think Barbara's husband was born in 1943, so possibly still living.

There are trees on Ancestry which have Amy F Dixon, wife of Charles Parry, daughter of Thomas Dixon and Amy F Laycock.

Thomas Dixon was the son of Thomas Dixon (1860-1898) and Alice Croasdale (1854-1910)

Alice, a widow, at 32, Eden Street, Toxteth Park, Lancashire, in 1901.

Her middle name was Croasdale and there was a Barbara Croasdale who died in 2014. Although her surname was Stratford, her birth is given as 1938.

If the same person, she must have remarried, but I can't find a record under the new surname given in 1939. There was a Barbara Croasdale Parry who married in Chester in 1973.

Three trees on Ancestry have him born on 2nd March 1915 in Mansfield, Notts., and marrying Agnes G Heath, 1921-2005, but I can't find a marriage.

Also show a living son but, again, I can't see a record.

According to a tree on Ancestry by a descendant of Sarah Carlisle Wright, she married William Timmons on 25th July 1820 in Alfreton, Derbyshire. Image available on FindMyPast.

They had eight children.

Kent / Re: Jane Tilly nee Ormston.

A few trees have her parents as John and Christian, nee Grey.

One has a baptism as Christiana Grey on 26th December 1767 in Wooler, Northumberland. She was buried in Beadnell, Northumberland, on 7th November 1833, age given as 79.

No indication as to why she moved to Kent. Beadnell is on the coast and some of my wife's ancestors moved from Sunderland to Kent having worked in shipping.

The William Mather, Chemist and Druggist, of London and Manchester is also mentioned as being of Chester Road in 1866.

He is on the 1851 and 61 censuses, born 1825 in Chorley, having married Sarah Ann Schofield in 1846.

Quite a few mentions of William Mather, druggist, in London and Manchester, but I can't find him at the address mentioned - 14 Bath Street, Newgate, and 19 Hanging Ditch, Manchester, in 1865.
