I agree that Irene Highton is probably the one I'm looking for. The 1911 Census shows her at aged 4 and is the only child born to the marriage (alive or dead).
K Garrard - As I have said the 1911 Census doesn't show any children of the marriage who subsequently died.
Heather Julie - Thanks for that info - I has the date but not the church where the marriage took place
and finally Heywood - Not the correct family - Just a big coincidence another William Highton marrying a Mary Elizabeth.
Thanks to all of you for going to all that trouble to assist. I'm down under in Australia so not able to get to any Records Office in Wigan to check personally.

Hello again,

As HeatherJ has said, there is a birth for Irene Highton in Tranmere in 1907 so the Birkenhead marriage is likely to be her.

(Not sure whether you were thinking it was the Wigan Irene.)

Not sure if this info is of any use---William's father John died[age 59] or was buried in Lower Ince Cemetery on the 19th Feb 1912 ,grave number Q139 in the C of E section.His address was 5 Cecil Street.Aso in the grave are buried another John age 53 2/4/1928 and Ann age 76 4/6/1928 both of Cambridge Street.Obviuosly must be related

Following my last post Ann was William's mother ,she died 30th May 1928,her estate was just over £408.John who is buried inthe same grave as John and Ann is their son.

William's address on the 1905 marriage is also 5 Cecil St (Lan-OPC), so the burials match up properly.
