Lancashire Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1891 WOVENDEN Liverpool (?)
« on: Thursday 27 June 19 01:24 BST (UK)  »
Hi Hugh

Yes, I have Wovendens in my family tree (Great x2 grandmother) and they spelled their name in many different ways over the years, eg Wovinden, Woffenden, Wolfenden etc. I found your missing 1891 couple by using a wildcard W*d?n for the surname in Ancestry - which technique has found quite a few of my ancestors.

PS I lived in Sheffield throughout the 1970's - small world  :)

Hi Hugh,

Take a look at 1891 England Census.

Cheshire>Poulton with Seacombe> District 21

I think this is your family but badly transcribed as 'Afret M Worden' and wife as 'Annette' living at 15 Riversdale Road, Seacombe, Wallasey, Cheshire.

There's also  the Liverpool Electoral Register for 1889-1890 which shows Alfred Martin Wovenden living at 1 Port View, Seacombe, Lancs.

Hope this helps.
Regards
