Robes and Shallikers, Bristol and Lancs

[heywood]

Hi,
first search brings up 1861 so perhaps mistranscription/ spellings earlier = will check

1861 RG9; Piece: 3133; Folio: 102; Page: 7

Edward Shalliker 47 rys cotton spinner operative
Isabella 44 ys
Ellen 16 yrs cotton weaver

85 Bedford Street Preston

Edward Sherliker 36 yrs cotton spinner
Isabella 34 yrs
John 10 yrs
Ellen 6 yrs
Thomas 1 yr
William Parkinson lodger 26 yrs power loom weaver b Catterall
Margaret Parkinson lodger 23 yrs power loom weaver b Chorley

family born Preston

The 1841 census does not give realtionships or places of birth. Also people aged 15 yrs and over were rounded down in age- so they would be older than shown (generally).

1841 HO107; Piece 499; Book: 1; Folio: 30; Page: 11

Canal Street Preston
Ellen Shirliker 60 yrs housekeeper
Joseph 40 yrs retail brewer
Sarah 35 yrs housekeeper
Jane 15 yrs cotton weaver
Edward 25 yrs cotton spinner
Isabella 25 yrs
James 15 yrs tin smith ap
John 1 yr
all born in county

so this looks like mother and sons wioth families. James 15 yrs is perhaps Ellen's son and Edward's brother rather than Joseph's

In 1901 James H Robe is a 36 year-old tailor, although I wonder whether it is 30 with a tail.

Hi Pip,
it may have been better to run two separate threads here but no worries- you'll just have to sort them as you go along:

Free BMD marriage
1838 1st quarter  Edward Sherliker and Isabella Cook (from a list of spouses)

[Richard Knott]

Yes, two threads may be better!

If Edward is the father, then these are possible:

Deaths   
Jun 1893   Harriett Robe   Barton R   age 52
Sep 1901  Edward Robe   Bristol       age 63

In 1861 (RG9/1718) Edward was a clerk in the railway  (age 19)
In 1901 he was in the Bristol Workhouse  (age 63)

I also found this

Is this your work?

Welcome Pippip 

 I am presently looking at some 'Shalliker' genealogy  in Manchester for a relative,  but I have only just started and have not got any information connecting to yours so far, though I think it is quite likely there is a connection as the name is quite rare.

 I was curious about the origin of the name too, as on searches  I found a lot of variations in spelling.
I did come across this website  which has some interesting ideas about where the name originated: there may be others.

 http://homepages.tesco.net/~ann.stewardson/shollike.htm

If I find a connection to yours I will let you know.

If you are asking me, Pip, no, I have only just started to look at Shallikers, and  I am looking on behalf of another member of the family who is new to genealogy, so asked me to help.   

 It looks as if you have found an interesting site.
