Catherine Mahony buried at Ford Cemetery in 1908 address as 5 Percy Rd Chester - grave number matches burial of Elizabeth O'Connor in 1913, her address as Liverpool Infirmary

thank you for finding Elizabeth and her daughter (at 4 Bird Street) in 1901 - now where is Andrew?

another son John Francis Desmond O'Connor has been found in Prescot district (b.1913-d.1915) in checking entries, thank you for reminding me to check after 1911 census!

best wishes

IGI birth
09th January 1865 at Dundalk, Louth, Ireland
of Andrew CONNOR son of John and Ellen (nee GARVEY)

But then in 1871 census at Cobden Sq, Newton-in-Makerfield, Lancashire I find:
William NAYLOR hd 22 lab b. Ashton
Ellen NAYLOR wf 24 b. Ireland
*Mary E. NAYLOR dau 3mths b. Newton
Andrew CONNOR step-son 6 scholar b. Ireland
with WYATT family
(*Mary E. NAYLOR must be Ellen NAYLOR copied in error from Mary E. WYATT 3 yrs)

The marriage certificate of the above couple states Ellen as CONNOR (widow) with father listed as GARVEY.

From GRO index
NAYLOR, MARY  ELIZABETH     GARVEY     GRO Reference: 1871  S Quarter in PRESCOT  Volume 08B  Page 603

The Wyatt family are shown as a separate family living in the same building

I wonder why he asked for 30 Gregorian to be said in Orne France after his death?

Deaths Dec 1871

(not related)

an ancestry tree has parents as John Naylor and Alice Garvey

[plimmerian]

on Elizabeth O’Connor’s death cert it lists her usual address as 84 Lugsdale Road Widnes, her husband Andrew of same address signed it

1901 lists a Sadler family
1911 lists an Adams family

No. 86 could be a public house run by a Mr Whittaker in both census

still no closer to finding Andrew in 1901 - bah!
