Hi I apologise in advance if this is confusing but I am very confused myself at the moment.
Elizabeth Goodwin was married twice. First to Thomas Jones, who died between 1878 & 1881 because in 1881 Elizabeth is listed as a widow.
Elizabeth next marries a Thomas Hawksey on 8th August 1886 at St Silas Liverpool. On the marriage certificate her father is John Goodwin (Mariner & Not listed as deceased). I thought I had found Elizabeth's parents as John Goodwin & Priscilla Coates however I am now unsure as on every census return John's occupation is listed as shoemaker or cordwainer. So I now don't know if I have the correct John Goodwin.
Could anyone help me find the marriage for Elizabeth Goodwin & Thomas Jones?
Also, Elizabeth and Thomas' daughter, Elizabeth Jones (born 1878 in Liverpool) married a John Jones and had - John Jones 1897, William Henry Jones 1901, Elizabeth Anne Jones 1902, & Arthur Thomas Jones 1907 and on Arthur's marriage certificate his father is listed as John Jones (Deceased). However in 1901 Elizabeth Jones is living at 60 Warren Street, Liverpool with her step-father Thomas Hawksey, half-brother John Hawksey, John Jones (3yo/Stepson to Head of Household), and William Jones (3m's/Stepson to Head of Household), but Elizabeth Jones is listed as single.
Elizabeth Jones next marries Patrick O'Flaherty 9th July 1909 (father's name listed as Thomas Jones - Labourer), she is listed as 34 and a spinster, so again no mention of her first spouse John Jones.
Maybe as I can't find a marriage, she wasn't married to John Jones?
I know it may seem a mess but if anyone could help me that would be great. I wish I could find John Jones in 1901.
Cheers - K.
