Hi LEP, yes this has been an on /off search for a long time for my friend.
I have dipped in and out in the past trying to help him but we have never been able to find any sign of a birth Reg; for John James or Lilly.
Regrettably my friend can no longer get about so I'm going to have to do the research at Wigan when i get a bit of time. Just need to get this refurbishment over with and i should have some time before the growing season starts.
Many thanks for the heads-up on the records at Wigan. Ill give the St Josephs records a go first as Tom (my friend) has done the St Thomas ones.
Take care, and lots of luck.

Hi LEP,
Thinking the same as you, we ordered the cert; from memory
( Catherine, wife of ? sheliker, Butcher. Wigan ) will do further checks on the cert; to-morrow.
I think i once came across a birth reg; for a John Sherliker b,1838 in Wigan.
I agree without a birth certificate for 1 more child we will never be sure of the mother maiden name.
The John James one for 1881 maybe a no go but worth a try.
Lilly married in 1905 widowed in 1911, 7yr marriage 1 child ( Flora age4 b, Openshaw.
Not used the mother name, maybe lost some children early in the marriage.
I think this is going to test all of your detecting skills.
Refurbishing, if your thinking of getting a shower, be very,very careful if your ordering a Daryl.
Ordering in the past was done by what door you wanted ( left hand or right door) now ordering is done by fixed panel.
This has caused mega problems as some sales people haven't got the new catalogs yet and are still ordering from the old catalogues.
They will tell you that all cubical is revers able, you need a conversion kit to do this. ( easier said that done, Daryl will take no responsabilty for any damage done during the conversion).
Lots of luck with the refurb, a pain while its being done but worth it in the end.
I have to keep telling myself that, as i trip over the shower cubical and 2 convershion kits (sent the wrong one first time) sitting in my concervatory, whlst waiting for a further cubical to be deliverd with any luck to-morrow.
Take care, Gem.

Hi LEP
Sorry for the delay in getting back, bathroom refurbish turning into a night mare.
Birth Certificate address for (Ellen Sheleker 1882)
No 10 James St, Miry Lane, Wigan.
Just had a look at the marriage cert; for Catherine Bamber to John Sherliker 1879.
Witnesses, Martha Walch and Edward Ingleman.
Thought they maybe useful.
I agree about getting John James Cert, we can get to Wigan, just need to sort this bathroom out first.

Hi LEP,
May thanks for your time and your help,.
What a confusing lot the Sherliker are and all those variants don't help.
(My friend says there were Shalliker in Salford when he was growing up but no relation) I'm not so sure.
John James is at RG12/3168/54/14 same address again in 1901 bit this time Nellie has lost a few years and Lilley is missing.
The next time i locate Lilley is her marriage Reg: 1905 Preswich, to a John Ward and she is calling herself, ( Liillean).
1911 and she is widowed age 26, living with John James and their mother Catherine 64,widow,married33yrs, 3 children to the marriage, 3 children still living.
All say b, Wigan.
I couldn't find a James Bamber with a Catherine age8, Did find a John Bamber with Catherine age 8, did you mean John, not James?

Gro Reference given by posteria is correctone, sorry my mistake.
The Parents of those children did make a cross on their marriage certificate, that possibly why the ages bounce around so much.
Still need help in find Lilley in 1901, Please
