Have just realised there was another son: James (he's the informant on his mother Mary's death certificate, which I'm happy to send if you haven't got it).
Don't have any details about when or where James was born.

Hi Sophie
The eldest child (as far as I know) was Elizabeth, born about 1810. According to some old family notes she was brought up at Chapel Farm just north of Tongland village. She married John Gillone who looked after the salmon fishery in Tongland. I'm descended from these two.
Other children (Robert, William, Margaret & David) I only know from the gravestone. I'm wondering if Margaret married an Italian and that's why she died in Italy, but I don't really know.
Which child are you descended from?
Best wishes,
Steve

Hi Sophiea
I'm descended from William & Mary's daughter Elizabeth, born about 1810. Think we are 5th cousins. I've got a copy of Mary's death certificate from 14th February 1863 but I only know about the other sons and daughters from the gravestone. It sounds like a really interesting (and unlucky) family. I have no idea why Margaret died in Italy but would be really keen to find out.
Best wishes,
Steve

There's a North Street and a North Road in Portsea. It is REALLY difficult to make out which it was, but thanks for all the suggestions

Thanks Stan. There is a place listed there called North Road, although it does look more like North "Reach" when you first look at it.

No, haven't solved my mystery. Will probably need to hire a local Liverpool genealogist, someone who can go beyond the usual census and BMD records to try and find out what happened :)
