hello
I am looking for a lady called Alice in 1891 she is with hubby John William Vernon and daughter Hannah. d.o.b. approx 1869. On the 1891 she is down as born Chester but 1901 Manchester.
Anyway in 1888 2nd q she married John and her maiden name was Poston (though in 1901 her dad is with her as Voston) 
I can't find her in 81 or 71 though any help would be great.
sorry if I've babbled.

Hi

They've got me foxed in 1881 

I've found what looks like John & Emma in 1891 in Manchester with daughters Minnie, Edith & Bertha.

There is a birth reg for Bertha Postons in Chorlton reg district for 1879 so they ought to be in Manchester in 1881 but they are evading me presently.

Found a death reg for Emma Postons 1896 Chorlton district aged 53.

I'm packing up for the night now but I'll have another go tomorrow unless you get sorted.

Regards
SandraC

Hi

Good find Carole but with this much variation it is hard to know if these are the correct people or not

Hi,

I am in touch with someone - the great great grandson of Alice Poston + John W Vernon.

Do you have any info on when John died? (I believe it may have been 1900, but they had a son registered in 1912.

Can you help?
