At present cannot find John Atkinson until 1851. So not sure of his relations were in the trade.

Thanks for all the info.

As a Beginner can anyone tell me how you find out about what trade directories are available online, people mentioned Gores and Slaters. Are other directories available for other places, as I am researching a number of photographers across this country.

Have sent a PM on newspaper and directory resources

7 July 1848:  John Atkinson of Lower Harrington suggests a pipeline to run alongside the railway line, to bring water to Liverpool from Windermere (Liverpool Mercury)

Presuming that John’s parents were T Atkinson of Penrith, Cumberland?, married to Elizabeth (b. abt 1782 – d. 19 Nov 1858) - can’t seem to find them?

Then I have in 1841 at Park Lane, Liverpool, a John Atkinson (born abt 1811). Occupation: Publican, married to Mary Ann, Also shown is a Mathew (born abt 1817 - Occupation: Tailor), which may be a brother? and a Ellen (born abt 1839 in Lancashire), which could be his second daughter Eleanora (born abt 1840).

His first daughter Elizabeth (born abt 1837 in Liverpool, Lancashire) seems to be shown in 1841 at Gath Court?, Liverpool with Catherine Devenport (born abt 1822 in Lancashire), Fanny Wilson (born abt 1824 in Lancashire) and Ellen Young (born abt 1814 in Lancashire) - don't know who they are?
Elizabeth and Eleanora are both shown in 1851 with their parents at 66 Lower Harrington
Street, Toxteth Park Extra Parochial, Liverpool.

I think Elizabeth married William Thomas (born abt 1838 in Northwick, Cheshire - Occupation: Bricklayer) and Eleanora married a William Walters Tomlinson.

Any information on John Atkinson’s parents or his early residence appreciated.

Prehaps that should have been Mr J Atkinson of Penrith. There is an Elizabeth about the right age with husband John in the 1851 census at Great Dockray, Penrith (also with son John 37, and daughter Elizabeth 25).

There's also this in the Liverpool Mercury for 1 March 1856:

Feb 13 in Warwick Street, of consumption, aged 37,  William Atkinson youngest son of John Atrkinson, Penrith

There are baptisms at St Andrew's Penrith that seem to fit ...to John and Elizabeth

There was a John Atkinson who was landlord of the Two Lions at Great Dockray in 1829:

There was a John Atkinson in Dockray, Penrith who was a chair maker. In the 1841 census he is 60, his wife Elizabeth is 55 and with them are James 20 and Elizabeth 15.

The Liverpool Mercury of June 22-23 1863 has the marriage of Elizabeth, only daughter of John Atkinson of Penrith, to Reginald Lawson Rimington at Crosby Ravensworth on June 18th.  In the 1871 census Elizabeth Rimington is 46, which ties in.
