1851 West Derby/ Huyton - Barker pls

[EC23]

Hi there

Not an awful lot of known info here, so not sure if this is going to be too hard

I'm looking Paul Barker (who died in 1853), in 1851. I think his wife is Margaret. Don't know how old he would be but he was in the 1832 Liverpool Poll Book of 1832, so would think at least 40

He would possibly be listed as builder/ bricklayer

Many thanks

EC

There is this entry for Margaret- a widow. Do you know for sure that he died in 1853?  There is a death in 1848.

Many thanks mo and heywood, this looks spot on

The reason I had 1853 as a date of death is that was when the partnership he had with his brother ad executors ws dissolved, no idea that would continue for another 5 years

Thanks a again, you helped solve an old mystery

Merry Christmas!
