Woolleys of Liverpool or Broxton, Cheshire

Unfortunately, there is nothing else written on the back of the photos and I can't find anything on-line to indicate which plot.

By the way, when I spoke to the Woolley family, they were aware of Angela Trimarco's sisters Rose, Philomena and Teresa so the tree on ancestry.com does seem basically correct - just, it appears,  the wrong John Woolley

Can anybody help identify the location of John Woolley's gravestone at Yew Tree Cemetery? We would love to know if there is any other information available, either on nearby family memorials or in the cemetery records.

Garstonite has offered to take a look if you can find the grave number.

There is a telephone contact here for the Archdiocese of Liverpool

You may be able to find further information.

Thanks, I'll give that a go.

Wow! Amazing reponse!

Garstonite, if you're still keen, the location of the grave is section 3C 82 in Yew Tree Cemetery. John Woolley was buried on 14-1-1936.

We'd love an up to date photo if you can manage, and any other information you can glean (other family members?)

There are some Wooleys in Findagrave, including a Samuel Woolley, born in Broxton and died in Tattenhall on 18th January 1881: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/186022596/samuel-woolley

Samuel, son of Thomas and Elizabeth Woolley of Broxton, baptised 22nd March 1795, in Malpas.

I looked to see if he had a link to John of 1903.

His father, on his marriage to Mary Jones, marriage, gave his father as John, a tailor

John Woolley, son of John, a tailor of Alphraham, and Betty nee Mottram, baptised in Bunbury on 3rd May 1856.

From the censuses, John Woolley, the tailor, was born in Rimington or Gisburn, Yorkshire.

John Wooley baptised in Gisburn, Yorkshire, on 26th February 1826, son of Thomas and Margaret.

Thomas Wooley married Margaret Blackburn on 6th August 1825 in Gisburn.

On the censuses, Thomas was born Clotton or Laughton?, Cheshire, c1802.

There is a Clotton, but it might be Clutton, near Broxton, in which case he may have been the son of Charles and Ellen, of Bickerton, near Broxton, baptised on 25th November 1801 in Malpas. Possible marriage to Eleanor Nield in Chester in 1791, and first child, Mary, in Harthill, near Bickerton, in 1792.

I can't find a link to the above Samuel, of Broxton.

Re. James the father of Mary Jones, he was from Halton, north of Chirk, Denbighshire, not Flintshire, and was living in Adenbury Fawr, near Wrexham, Denbighshire, when he married his first wife. I can't find a baptism.

Thanks so much for all the input! I am still pursuing the idea that Hilda may have been Elsie's illegitimate daughter. Heywood, you mention this possibility in one of your posts. I have found a christening record for a Hilda Mary Woolley on 5th Nov 1914, in Bickerton, Cheshire, where the mother's name is Elsie Elizabeth Woolley but no father's name is given. It means that Elsie might have been only 15 when Hilda was born. You also mention "Elsie, in 1911, is a servant in another household in the area" in another post. However, I can't find this census record. Can you point me in the right direction? Or, at least, provide her age and the name of the family she was serving? She would have been quite young at the time.

I can’t see her or the family she is with on Family Search.

On one site she is transcribed as ‘Eliser’ Woolley, 14 yrs b Malpas. Her name has been corrected by a user to Elsie.
She is a servant in the Brookes family.

The residence is a long place - Waverton, Cotton Abbotts  etc
