Mclatton

[nealc]

I am researching my ancestry. My mother's maternal grandmother was Elizabeth Mclatton. She was born in Gibralter around 1859 to John and Mary McLatton. She had two sisters that I know of, Mary Jane, born in Wales around 1855 and Catherine, also born in Gibralter around 1861. They then lived in Liverpool. Elizabeth married Edward Burns. They had 5 children and emigrated to Rhode Island, USA.

Hello Mclatton,

What years do you think they were living in Liverpool? maybe we can try checking the census. Do you have any addresses to work with or even occupations for the chaps we maybe can use the directories for the period.

In the 1871 Census the McLattons resided at 2 Henry Edward St in the St. Stephen's Ecclesiastical district of Liverpool. Elizabeth was 13 at the time of that census. Although I can't find further reference to McLatton in a later census, I do find Elizabeth Burns (her married name) listed as a servent at 16 Walton Rd in the St. Mary's Ecclesiastical Parish (Everton) in 1881 and again, in 1891, listed with her 2 oldest children, at Beresforth St, Court # 5, St. Ambrose (Everton). I believe that this is all the same person because the age is very close and the birthplace is Gibralter.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Almost forgot, in the 1901 census the family is listed at 11 Washington St in the St. Mark parish.
