1851 has an Edward Woods born 1830 as a step son age 21 errand boy born Wrighlington? Lancs

Might be worth checking that one out just in case.

Head of house appears to be

George Caunce 64
wife Jane 62

Marriage for Jane Woods to George Caunce in 1838

Marriage confirms she was a spinster living Wrightington?

So don't know if that fits or not 

If he made up a father you would think he would match the surname to his own.

Milliepede - I think we pass on that listing as the census original notes the stepson is Blind. My Edward would not be. Also Edward in 1861, 71 and 81 census have him all born Liverpool 1829/1830.

Hi
Thank you for your help. That looks promising.
I did find two William Woods who are painters in Lancaster in 1841C.
Both are aged 30 and live in Walton on the Hill, Everton, Liverpool, one with mother and siblings, other with father and brother.

Somehow need to determine which one it might be.

Cheers

Hi again.
Have tracked the William Woods family you identified and it looks the most promising. They are living on Scotland Rd Kirkdale which is north of the city centre in 1841 and keep near that proximity in subsequent census's. Edward and his wife Ellen are living relatively close when they get married in 1854.

However there is also the other William Woods, painter of same age living with his father William Woods aged 65, Joiner and older brother Thomas aged 32, Taylor in Knotty Ash.  Not able to track them in later Census's yet.   Knotty Ash is to the east about 6km towards Prescot. So I'm favouring the other family but we don't have the evidence.

There is also a Susannah b1799 and James b1811, children of William and Susannah Evans.

I've located a descendant of William and Susannah and hoping to make contact to see if a DNA match might be possible.

Yet to locate a christening for Edward!

Cheers
Warwick
