Robes and Shallikers, Bristol and Lancs

[heywood]

on the other hand, Pip, if you were saying that the information that I found re Shallikers - which took quite a while- was useful to you, that would be nice- as a thank you would too. 
I am assuming that you didn't read the posters and thought I was griz.

best wishes

Hello, Yes - thank you so much for the info. I have been quite excited about it and telling my mother and forgot to say thank you. But I really do appreciate your help!
Sorry for the delay in sending thanks

[heywood]

that's fine- I understand the excitement  you will need to sort out the two families - if you need further census info re the Shallikers- let me know- I can look up. If you don't already know, the 1881 is free to search on both ancestry and Family Search.

good luck

That's brilliant, thanks. I looked them up on free cen once I had your info, but I didn't really know where to go from there. Without a name of a husband of Ellen Shirliker I am a bit lost. But what you have given me has really helped.
All the best,

Pip

Hi Pip,
it's all going a bit pear shaped in 1871 and may be resolved in 1881! I notice that there are a lot of Sherliker variations in Preston so am not sure now re the names i am giving - if they are the same people- if you knowq what I mean. Anyway here goes and you can compare and decide.
I do think this is Isabella and will give you the transcriptions as well as what I see 

1871 RG10; Piece: 4210; Folio: 143; Page: 32

88 Lancaster Rd North, Preston
Rubin Cook 24 yrs butcher
Ellen wife 26 yrs cotton creeler
Elizabeth daur 6 yrs
William son 9 yrs
Catherine daur 4 months
Isabella Shilliker boarder  houskeeper
Agness Shillker boarder cotton weaver
Elizabeth Shillker boarder  cotton weaver
all born Preston

The transcription is Shillikes and Isabella is transcribed as 38 ys; Agnes as 70 yrs and Elizabeth as 46 yrs.
The ages have been struck through in checking but the girls certainly begin with a 1.

Free BMD has a marriage in 1868 for Reuben Cook with possible spouses of Ellen Clark and Mary Ellen Shirliker.
Now as Isabella was a Cook- I suppoe either are possibilities at the moment
I can't see a death for Edward and there is an Edward elsewhere but age is not quite right. Will check.

Thank you. This confuses matters doesn't it! I will have to write this all down before I confuse the family tree! I wonder if Ruben is a nephew of Isabella in this case?

1881 RG11; Piece: 4236; Folio: 9; Page: 11

has Ruben and Mary Ellen Cook with lots of children so Mary Ellen may be your ellen or not  

Free BMD death 1874 Isabella Sherliker 58 yrs - would say it is probably her because of the first name


Free BMD death 1879 Edward aged 66 yrs  - yes??

[heywood]

Free BMD marriage 1874 Agnes Sherliker to either James Newton or William Melling but can't spot in 1881.

This is the possibility for Edward in 1871 - the Thomas seems ok but there was no James in 1861 

1871 RG10; Piece: 4211; Folio: 84; Page: 12

Fylde Rd Preston
Thomas Apperson (Appleton?) widower 39 yrs tailor b Upholland
Edward Sherlicker 60 yrs boarder married 60 yrs cotton weaver
Thomas Sherlicker 22 yrs boarder unmarried 22 rys cotton weaver
James Sherlicker 14 yrs boarder unmarried 14 yrs tailor apprentice
others born Preston

confusing but there will be an explanation somewhere 

1861 RG9; Piece: 3130; Folio: 126; Page: 35
2 St George's Rd Preston
James Sherlicker 4 yrs lodger scholar b Preston
ISabella Sherlicker 30 yrs unmarried lodger cotton winder b Preston
who is she?? 1851 has her as a daughter of John Sherliker aged 42 yrs (in 1851) so could be related to Edward (brother perhaps?)
they are lodging with Ann Threlfall  and other lodgers.

oh dear- lots of work here- get a nice drink and then sit down and try to make sense- I will stop now- let me know if,w hen you have sorted it, there are any people on 1891 and 1901 that you need to look for 

[pippip24]

This is a bit of a jigsaw puzzle isn't it. Your idea of a drink sounds perfect - I will see what I can do and let you know. Thank you so much for your help - I am quite overwhelmed!
