Lancashire / Re: Missing records
« on: Sunday 18 October 20 17:05 BST (UK)  »

I have a similar problem with missing marriages in Lancashire in the early - mid 1700s, some of the families were Catholic or non-conformists (they're in the 1767 papist list) and I've had a wee bit of luck linking people using Lancashire Wills (freely available online via Familysearch). It's a bit time consuming but quite good fun...
This is a good link to start with (can also be checked against Lancashire Archives catalogue)

Lancashire / Re: William (Kaye) PARKINS, Born 1846, Liverpool

There's a William PAGE Parkins in 1861 age 15 with mother Emma and siblings in Chaucer Place Liverpool. Maybe a mistranscription Page/Kaye ?

Lancashire / Re: Baptism or 1841 census?
« on: Friday 26 June 20 17:35 BST (UK)  »
 Unless the 1841 Jane Dickson/Dixon was Thomas Dickson's sister and James' aunt...

Scotlands People don't seem to have a Thomas Dixon/Dickson plus Glover either but I have families from Scotland (Dicksons !) who aren't anywhere to be found on Scotlands People.

The Thomas Glover appears in 1861 as a widower and there's a marriage for Thomas Glover - plasterer - and Mary McLennan in 1825 in Liverpool.
