GRO Reference: 1860  S Quarter in CHORLTON  Volume 08C  Page 580

Eliza appears to have died as Elizabeth Donelly 1867 age 6

Ah, now I thought she would be this child from Lancashire BMD

Elizabeth Donnelly b 1859 mmn Wales - Ormskirk district

I can’t see a birth for young William though, the child of George and Catherine.

You might be right there, Elizas Mother nee Wales.

It was just a possible I posted.

Anyhow I will leave this now and wait till the poster replies.

Bye for now heywood

Hello,

I am researching George Donnelly born around June 1862 in Wellington Somerset.  All I know is that his father was also called George and by 1881 he was living in Liverpool.  Any help would be wonderful.

Many thanks
Kathy

In 1881 this George is RG11/3715 f52 p21 - 3 Chiswick Street, West Derby age 19 occ Bricksetter born Summerset (sic)

1891 still in West Derby RG12/2999 f133 p23

It would be nice to have George juniors marriage details as they should clarify his fathers occupation

Hello Ladies,

Thank you so much for your replies 

George jnr’s marriage which is on the Liverpool catholic Marriages does not give his Fathers occupation, But one of the witnesses was  a William Donnelly so could possibly be his brother.

It does not give his mother’s name either.

The 1881 census is correct, George Jnr stated he was from Somerset.

It would seem strange for George Snr to marry in Lancashire, have one Child in Somerset and then move back to Liverpool?

This is m Husbands family, I am used to doing my tree in Scotland which I find much easier!  So I am floundering a bit with the English side.

Thank you so much for all your help, I will keep digging.

I have just been digging, apparently Wellington was a centre for Cloth Making in the 19th Century!  So Flax Dresser would make sense.
