Marriage C. 1875 Lookup Request

[navarrom]

Just found Thomas (son) on the 1881 Census.

He was living at 7 Cromwell Terrace with his Auntie Elizabeth (Price) and husband William Porter again. There's a Jane Mercer, niece, aged 17, b. C. 1864, living with them too. I have no idea who's her, and looking at the GRO, b. 1864 +/- 2 years, there are two:

Thank you! I wish even more now I could find the marriage records for Thomas and Martha, to see if he was a widower. But it seems more and more likely that they never got married?

Someone has Elizabeth Carney on her tree and she has purchased her marriage and death records. It says she lived in Seacombe when she got married, and she passed on 1875 of typhus at the Walton Workhouse. She's buried at Walton Cemetery.

Just found the above living at 40 Horatio Street, Liverpool. The age and place of birth of Elizabeth (mother), matches with the Elizabeth living with a Granddaughter called Jane. So it must be them.
I google searched and it seems the dad worked as a victualler, "a person who supplies food, beverages and other provisions for the crew of a vessel at sea."
