Sarah Conless died 1905 Liverpool

[Milliepede]

Checked the other children and all born West Derby mothers name Conless

[Varleyhaggart]

This is the long shot I have…although it’s anything but air tight

On her marriage certificate, the witnesses where JOHN MCDONAGH and WINNIFRED EGAN.

In 1881…there was  a JOHN CUNLESS born LIVERPOOL ( 1857) along with a JOHN MCDONOUGH…both are said to be boarders and living a 75 STANLEY ROAD

Stanley Road is where SARAH lived with her HESKETH husband.

JOHN CUNLESS was a similar age, living in a similar area with the same surname…could be a coincidence but maybe it isn’t?

On the 1901 census SARAH had the initial SARAH A…let’s say that was ANN.

There’s a SARAH A CUNLERK born in LIVERPOOL to THOMAS and SUSAN in 1856…

There’s also a JOHN CUNLICK born 1854 to a THOMAS and SUSANNA

If you’re able to see the original photos it’s hard to tell if the letter ‘R’ isn’t actually an ‘s’…meaning the surname was possibly ‘CUNLISK/CONLISK’?

There’s a Thomas Conlisk that passed away in Liverpool also….

That’s the best ‘ lead’ that I’ve been able to find

[softly softly]

For the back burner at present.

Something to look into further for sure. Can you find John later on or a marriage for him?

Sarah had a daughter named Susan? If I remember right.

Also did James Hesketh remarry after Sarah died?  Where was he and the children in 1911 if you know? **

** found it, he is a widower.

Yes, some of the children are as follows….

I’m not sure where James was in 1911…

There was a couple of things suggesting he remarried but again, I couldn’t clarify it! Simply because there was so many JAMES HESKETHS in Liverpool at that time…

I was hoping CONLESS was going to be easier to narrow down

[Milliepede]

No he is still a widower on census with some children.

1911 he is with Edith, Thomas, Lena.  Still at Stanley Road.  Plus various grandchildren.

Is the Cunliffe name too far off, if you speak it rather than write it, double f and double s sound similar.

There is a widowed Susan Cunliffe 38 in 1861 with 3 children
William 10
John 6
Sarah Ann 4

Susan and William born Scotland

[Varleyhaggart]

On Sarah’s death certificate her address was said to be

205 ARLINGTON STREET…

I don’t know if that’s just where she was or if it meant that she’d left STANLEY STREET by that point?

Now hang on….

That’s interesting to me bcos I recall finding a THOMAS and SUSANNAH CONLISK in Glasgow in an earlier census….perhaps it’s the same people?

It’s funny that you say about pronunciation bcos I try and do the accents of misspellings to myself constantly lol

Where they in Liverpool?
