If you are still monitoring this thread please reply. I have confirmed whitehead ancestors from New Mills but little information other than names and dates to late 1700s

Lancashire / Liverpool census question
« on: Sunday 18 March 18 05:10 GMT (UK)  »
Is anybody able to tell me what an entry means on a census return of 1901 from Liverpool?
It says 'Crown Street, part of Bor's (Bootle Division)'. I have tried to find what Bor's means but have only found one reference which wasnt any help except that maybe Liverpool was starting to split into Boroughs??? More information would be great if anyone can explain.

All this information you have found has been very helpful, it has got the search going again after hitting a road block. How do I go about getting a copy of the baptism entries mentioned for George and Mary, would that be Liverpool Council or is there a better place to ask?
Thanks

OK, thanks. Will remember that.
Certificate says:
Date 28th September 1854, St. Augustines church
John Hughes - 21 years - Bachelor - Prof: Mariner - residence at time of marriage, Clay Shut(?), Liverpool - fathers name, Patrick Hughes (stonecutter).
Catherine Cregan - 24 years - Spinster - no occupation listed - residence Clay Shut(?), Liverpool, fathers name, William Cregan (Husbandman)

First witness name I cant decipher but looks like Francis R***h
Second witness is Rose Ann Cregan

Hope that is some help.

Thank you for all this information, I have been able to unravel a little bit more information from what has been given in all of your posts.  I have spent a bit of time trying to prove or disprove the marriage certificate that I received is correct and think it most likely is correct for a number of reasons but there are a couple of things that dont match. I am very inexperienced at this research so could someone with more experience please advise me on the following:
Age in all census records have John and Catherine of the same age born 1828/9. Marriage certificate shows john being 3 years younger than catherine with age at marriage in 1854 at 21. catherines age at 24 which fits with what I have on her. Is Johns age discrepancy enough to discount the marriage certificate as being the wrong one for this research if there are plenty of other areas where a match is consistent?
I am assuming that a witness named Rose Ann Cregan is either mother or sister to Catherine, was there a protocol in those days as to which relation Rose Ann may be?
If you can help with these two questions it would be appreciated. I would attach a copy of the certificate but its over the size limit and cant upload it.
Thanks

1861 also has a visitor, Pat Hughes, widower 52 yrs from Donagh, Monaghan.
Catherine’s  birthplace doesn’t look like Monaghan though.
I have found a baptism record for a Catherine Cregan, Dated of Baptism 21/1/1828. Parish/District MAHOONAGH/CASTLEMAHON. Could the unclear bithplace mentioned above be here? Surname spelling seems to change depending on source, could give me another avenue to look down.
