Hi recently l found a newspaper report of children being neglected this was Prescot Widnes 1893,, the parents were sentenced to l months hard labour, later that year l found the mother died after confinement, her child also died a few months later, l cannot find the husband or the children lm assuming they went into a workhouse or some kind of care,
The family are on previous census living in various streets in Widnes area the oldest child was named John mulligan he, was 13 yrs in the report, other children are Catherine, Ellen, Mary, and Martin he was about 1yr,, then the last child that died was Thomas,,, the parents were both Irish,, Michael and Bridget mulligan she was a mulroy previously,, lm hoping somone may behable to point me in the right direction where l may find where the children or father may have ended up,, the oldest boy named John lm hoping went to sea as this is the person im researching thanks eda
