Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: 1841 Liverpool census page

Yes, quite right. Getting all my Johns mixed up ::) It's been a while since I looked at this line. The John in Fontenoy St is Jane's grandfather.
I think you're right about Mary CASSON as well, as her sister Elizabeth did marry John SANDERSON in 1787. Their son John married Mary LLOYD in 1814.

I already had the births of 8 children to that couple but I did not have have the birth of Elizabeth Ann in 1830, so thanks for that one!

Unfortunately, you're right. The one at 49 Fontenoy St is the father of the elusive Jane.

Many thanks for showing me an alternate couple, Rosie. They do appear to be a better fit for the 1839 marriage at Holy Trinity. Having said that, the Green Lane couple cannot be the one I was looking for as the age for Jane doesn't work with the birth date I have for the lady I am after. I am actually trying to trace Jane SANDERSON b. 1819.

I had thought that the 1839 marriage was a good lead because Jane's father was given as John SANDERSON, Joiner on the marriage record. This does match with the Jane I have who was born to parents John SANDERSON and Mary LLOYD baptized 19 Apr 1819 at St. Peter.

Guess I still have some thinking to do. Thanks to all of you - this is a wonderful site!

Wow, thanks everyone for the lightning fast reply!!

I was thinking S Merchant too. Any idea what the S might stand for? If it's any help (and assuming this is the Edward Jones I think it is), he was described as a shopkeeper on his marriage certificate in 1839.

Can some eagle-eyed people read an occupation and age for me off this census page? It is the 10th name down on the page. The name is Edward Jones, aged 25 living with a Jane Jones, aged 24 and a baby also named Edward.
I can't read the elder Edward's occupation nor the age of baby Edward? Any ideas would be much appreciated.

You learn something new every day. Not a good way to go at all, especially back then.

Thank you, thank you! You are a lifesaver! :)

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / What does this cause of death say?
« on: Wednesday 17 July 24 22:25 BST (UK)  »
I have this digital image of a death registration from Staffordshire in 1878. The image is quite clear and the handwriting is not bad at all yet I cannot work out what the cause of death reads. I have been doing family history for 25 years, am a transcriber for Lan OPC and FreeBMD, so I'm used to reading odd handwriting and even some Latin. On top of that, I was a nurse for 30 years and I don't know what "Sevirhus Ettoi" could possibly be!

Anyone have any ideas?
