Thanks to everyone for your responses.
In 1901 they were living at 8 Pembroke street, Court 4. The wife Sarah is listed as Jane but this was one of her Christian names and she was often known by this rather than Sarah.
Fred was 37
Jane (Sarah) was 29
Louisa was 10
Fred was 6
Thomas was 4
Mary was 2
I know these children are correct.
Louisa was to Sarahs first husband, James Powell.
I have Sarahs birth certificate from Oswestry and I know it's the right one as I had always been told that her father was the Town Crier, which it also says on her marriage certificate to James Powell.
Sarahs age is right as well.
I have gone back to the 1700's on Sarahs side of the family but can't get anything on Fred.
On the 1901 census it gives their birthplaces as Liverpool but there are often discrepancies over places of birth and ages, which is why I always check dates either side, I think she was still married to James Powell when she was living with Fred.
I know this might seem a bit garbled but this is what I have to go on.
Many thanks
Viv

Can anyone help with this problem? I've been searching for my great grandfathers birth in 1866 probably in Liverpool. I've also looked at many years either side of this date.
I have a copy of his death certificate, he died in 1925 giving his age as 59. I know I've got the right certificate because of the address, and his daughter was the informant.
I have found him on the 1901 census with his wife and some children, but as I can find no trace of a marriage between them I can't get his fathers name to enable me to go back any further.
If anyone has had the same problem and managed to overcome it I would be really grateful for any help.
I've been searching for any info on him for years now.
I even wrote to Southampton Archives to see if there was any info registered there from when he was at sea, but they had nothing about him.
Sometimes I think he never existed, except that he fathered quite alot of children.
His name was Frederick Thomas and his wife was Sarah Ann Jane Thomas nee Jones.
Thanks in anticipation
Viv

Hi.
The church you mention is usually known as St Nicks, or the Sailors Church as it is situated down by the river.
Good luck

On th e1871 census, they are at Hyde street, they have their first son Thomas Alexander aged 10. David was 34 and Isabella was 36, a bit of discrepancy in the age of Isabella.
It says they were both born in Scotland.
They have visitors Edward Conlin and Janet Conlin both from Scotland, I presume these are husband and wife.
