Searching for Mary Lengurill

[lizdb]

I liked the bit about the wild wallabies!

Dont give up. She must have arrived from somewhere, at some time before 1858. And she was only young - did she come alone? Did she even come direct from Gibraltar/Ireland/Lambay?

[Clarijo]

I imagine wild wallabies would be enough to make anyone pack their bags and go ....
Do you think she might have been adopted?  By Lengurill, I mean.  And anyway, who was Lengurill?  He doesn't crop up anywhere, either.  And what sort of place was Stanley Street?  Maybe I should go to Liverpool.  It would be a schlep, but I feel myself getting into this now!

[Clarijo]

Oh, I see that Stanley St is very close to St Nicholas Church, which is picturesquely described as The Sailors' Church.  How sweet.  I guess it is near the Pier Head or Docks, or something.

PS what does "minor" mean in the context of age at marriage?  Does it mean U21?

Given the rarity of the surname it may be worth having a look at Scharlattea Langurill who married John Michael in Liverpool on 13 March 1871.

Her father named as Henry but I wonder whether there's a connection of some sort?

Yes

to Agustus/Augustus Ledwich or Ledwick.

Is the "John Michael"/"Scharlattea Langurill " marriage possibly related to the "Michell" lodgers (b Germany and Ireland) living with the Fischers in 1871?

Well, if you folk aren't professionals, you jolly well should be.  I have never seen such a flurry of excellent suggestions, and such fabulous detective work, too.  Thank you SO much.  So, now is it a good idea to go onto Ancestry websites and search their banks of records?  I am not terribly talented at this, to be honest.  Find the navigation a bit difficult.   Thanks in anticipation of good advice.

That must surely be them - married less than three weeks by then (13 Mar to 2 Apr).

If the 1871 census is correct John was 18 and Charlotte was 40.
