Warrington 1891 Census
« on: Yesterday at 01:34 »
Hi. I really hope someone can help. For years I have been trying to find my 2nd Great Grandmother, Grace Williams (nee Lloyd), in the 1891 census for Warrington. Grace was born in 1940 in Liverpool.

Her last known addresses in Warrington were:
1881 - Census: 53 Howard Street, Warrington
1882 - Son's baptism record: 32 Leicester Street, Warrington
1885 - Husband's death certificate: 25 Leicester Street, Warrington

Also living with Grace are potentialy her children George (b.1882), Mary Ellen (b.1878), Elizabeth Ann (b.1876) and Margaret Amanda (b.1873).

I hope I have provided the appropriate information in the correct manner. I would be so grateful if anyone could help. Thank you.

The 1882 baptism of George has father as Richard, Railway guard. 
Its very likely that you have the right Grace.
Well done.

Wow! Thank you so much. You are an absolute diamond. This definitely is Grace, who I have been searching for. This is truly the difference between an expert and an amateur still learning. In hindsight, I think I was so bamboozled with so many Grace Williams and over complicated things.

Grace was the only 2nd Great Grandparent I had not completely accounted for and this is such a relief .

Once again, thank you very much  :)

Thanks Kay. I've just checked my records and I do have Richard dying in 1883 and not 1885. At some point I hope to see if I can find the Coroner's inquest report.
