Help with look up for 1st Cousin 1 x rem in Birkenhead

[LizzieL]

If you have access to electoral rolls, her last address in Chester can be found. I found on FindMyPast.

[LizzieL]

I don't see that she had any children with either husband.

Next puzzle: where did the name Croasdale come from? Not common, but a lot come up on FreeBMD

There are trees on Ancestry which have Amy F Dixon, wife of Charles Parry, daughter of Thomas Dixon and Amy F Laycock.

Thomas Dixon was the son of Thomas Dixon (1860-1898) and Alice Croasdale (1854-1910)

Alice, a widow, at 32, Eden Street, Toxteth Park, Lancashire, in 1901.

See replies 11 & 14 www.cheshirebmd.org.uk have her as Barbara Croasdale Parry  on both the 1959 & 1973 marriage entries in my earlier reply.  Her birth reg on the same site also shows that middle name

As she appears to have married again as Parry in 1873 she possibly divorced & reverted to her maiden name

[CaroleW]

Both her marriages are known - so freebmd or the GRO index can be used to look for children from the 1959 marriage but nothing found so far.

By 1973 she was only 35 but again no obvious births

Would suggest you buy a copy of her will as suggested in the reply 16.  It will only cost you £1.50 at the moment but the cost is rocketing to £16 from 17/11 so do it quickly

Thanks DCB , so that's where the name Croasdale originates! It is a pity that the lineage stops here , but at least I have something to add onto my f tree . Many thanks to you all for helping to get me this far and best wishes .

[DCB]

It does go back a bit further, if correct.

Alice Croasdale was the daughter of John Croasdale, 1800-1856 in Liverpool, and Margaret Williams, 1817-1884 in Liverpool.

Then William Croasdale, b 1772, no wife listed, and Edward Williams and Elizabeth Hughes, but no details.

There is a William Croasdale baptised on 20th January 1771, in Tatham Fell, diocese of Blackburn, son of William of Ballshaw.

I think Barbara's husband was born in 1943, so possibly still living.
