1871 census
“cellar under 18 Buckingham Street” [the address that Phoebe Wright gives at her wedding]
William Henry Wright, widower, 50, waggon driver, b Liverpool (also everyone below)
William Henry Wright, son, 20, [v faint, possibly ditto marks for occupation]
Julia Wright, 15, daughter, housekeeper
Sarah Helen Wright, 11, daughter, scholar

Julia Wright 15 is possibly Phoebe. I can find various records for the son and the other daughter, but nothing at all for this Julia.

In 1871, all of the houses in Buckingham Street seem to be recorded as separate households at the main address and at the cellar address.
Boyd, Dove, Blakey, Burdon

Thank you Alan!

I wasn’t aware of SARAH ELLEN I thought I had found a MARY ELLEN who possibly married WILLIAM MCMINN….perhaps there’s multiple families in looking at here…

And I have never seen JULIA so maybe you’re right about the possibility of it being PHOEBE  ???

Regarding the WOODS couple I previously posted, there is this couple in 1881…

JOHN WOODS ( not William? )
57
BORN LIVERPOOL
IRON MOULDER ( different occ )

MARY WOODS ( not Maria? )
54
BORN DENBIGHSHIRE WALES

The births somewhat match up, MARY/MARIA being from WALES somewhat matches up ( the town previously mentioned is a southern town even tho it was listed as NORTH WALES. Could easily be a transcribe mistake of MERIONETHSHIRE ? )

I’m still unsure if the previous census I posted are even the right people to begin with…there’s never any children listed and I’m unable to find a marriage unfortunately  ???

Using the same search of BUCKINGHAM STREET 1871 but changing the name to WOODS.

I saw a family with parents from ARMAGH IRELAND children from LIVERPOOL. No names matched up.

Same family in 1881 are all said to be born in LIVERPOOL.

If they’re relatives maybe JOHN WOODS side where from IRELAND.

Long shot but something to think about

1861

MARIA WOODS 33
MARRIED
WIFE
ROONEY STREET
BORN DOWLES, MONMOUTHSHIRE


1871

MARIA WOODS 44
WIFE
BORN METHYR, NORTH WALES


I'd suggest Maria came from Dowlais /  Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales.
