From family search 1881 census (free census)   RG11/3592/26/46

Hannah Peterson, 29 b Liverpool, seaman's wife
Henry 7 b Wallasey
Olga M 5 b Wallasey
Sarah E 2 b Wallasey

address:   1 Shaftesbury Cottages, Wheatland Lane, Poulton cum Seacombe, Wallasey, Cheshire

Who was Hannah married to?    Possibly

from freebmd
Dec quarter, 1872, Birkenhead vol 8a page 747 (ref index)

APPLETON    Hannah       
PEDERSON    Otto     
SMITH    Elizabeth Agnes        
Tait    William

So it's looking very likely.

Flower (the original poster) has the marriage certificate, so you would only need to tie it in to Sarah's birth certificate, and you have the paper trail.

Thanks very much silvery - both for BMD information and tip re site functionality. Much appreciated.

I'm greatly encouraged that the Pedersen thread from a bit back will be the correct family as the Sarah Eleanora highlighted in your response was definitely my wife's grandmother and, I understand, Ottoe her husband was at one time a Mersey ferry captain (pilot?).

I'm still a novice in genealogy with less than a month's experience so am very greatful for your help.

Best regards

Jim

Dear everyone,
First of all a thousand apologies for not replying to the messages sooner but  I wasn't notified until yesterday and only received it when I opened my emails today!
 To answer some questions, yes this is the family of Sarah Eleanora who married Frank Denovan and yes her parents Hannah Appleton and Otto Monrad Pedersen (more detail on the surname available) did marry, they were my 2x great grandparents. I not only have their marriage cert but Otto's naturalisation papers which prove his date and place of birth and his parents' names. I also have  a photo of Sarah 'Grandma Denovan' sent to my brother by a descendant of hers. Just PM me and I'll give details.
The research back to the 1600s is freely available on the wonderful website where the Norwegians have put original images for FREE Oh Yes!! and it was fun to trace so I won't spoil it for you unless you get stuck, then you can post (or PM) a specific question. Good luck and nice to hear from a 'cousin', Marian

Hello, I've just registered on this site as I noticed your postings. Otto is my Great grandfather and Olga Marie my Grandmother. Otto (or Walter) is buried in Rake Lane cemetery in Wallasey (Seacombe being part of Wallasey) so I guess he never moved from Seacombe after he married.

My cousin lived with Olga during her childhood & she has lots of stories and also his Naturalization papers. We have photos of Otto and Hannah with their family and Denovans who I believe owned a pub in Liverpool.

We must be related to each other somewhere down the line :-)     If you would like any further info let me know & I'll dig out as much as I have because  I've just jumped on the site unprepared and of course I'd be grateful for any info you could give me

Hello again everyone, Yes we are related (twice), your Olga Maria married John Joseph Hampton, brother of Henrietta / Harriet Hampton who married Henry Walter Pedersen, brother of Olga Maria! I am descended from Elizabeth Hannah, daughter of this second marriage. If you have seen the naturalisation papers of Otto Monrad, you will have found John Joseph Hampton as a witness. Otto/Walter did in fact live in Scotland for a very brief period before returning to the Wirral. Nice to have another cousin! What happened to Jim, are you still wanting info? Love to all, M
