Would it be possible for someone to do a Look Up for me on a Baptism at St Peter's Church, Liverpool round about 1822-1823 for ALICE TUDOR - Parents: Edward Tudor (Book Keeper) and mother's name Margaret.  Thank you very much.  Hazel Mayne

Thanks for that - just noticed it's been moved, so I'll sit and wait paitently for 10 million people to get back to me.     I'll keep you informed once the certificate arrives, though they normally take more than 2 weeks to get to me here. 

I can only assume the name CROMPTON is the name of the family the girls went to live with after their mum died.  I did find an Amy Crompton in Manchester on the 1901 census, but her age is out by 3 years, but this family lived at the other end of the street where the girls lived with their mum in 1881 and their aunt Martha in 1891 - This street is very, very long - at one end it's called Brook Street and at the other where I found an Amy Crompton in 1901 its called Plymouth Grove!!!  Ah well I'll get there one day and hopefully sort out this sad family story of my Grt gran and her younger sister Amy.

thanks for all your help - much appreciated.   Speak soonest

Hi thank you for replying to me.   I have found the 2 girls and their mother on the 1881 census.  The mother is still living in the same house as her parents had since 1861 - 11 Brook Street, Manchester - the area where my family came from.  Sarah (the unmarried mother) is down as UNMARRIED born abt 1849, the 2 girls are Mary Jane (my grt granny) 1872 and Amy her sister b. abt 1879 ALL Sunarmes as HARDMAN.  I think I have also found the 2 girls again in 1891 but their name is now CROMPTON, but they seem to be with Sarah Jane's sister Martha (now Lambert) still in the same street.  I will send off for what I think is my Grt grandmothers marriage to Benjamin Ogden (my grandmother's maiden name)  I remember as a child my mother taking me to Oxford Road in Manchester (near St Peter's Square, and where the Manchester Library is) and showing me roughly where the 2 girls father had committed suicide), all I can remember now is that there was a big Thomas Cook's based on the corner)!!!  We still have in the family, a ruby & diamond ring that this chap bought for Sarah Jane (the mother), and it has been passed down to oldest girl in the family ever since.  My mother always said he either came from a higher ranked family or he was married, but I guess we'll never know.  My mother was the family historian, but unfortunately, she wrote very little down and kept most of it in her head.  She now has Alzheimer's and it's impossible for me to try and ask her questions whenever I return to the UK.  I have also asked my mother's youngest brother, and he confirms everything my mother has told me about this guy committing suicide.  Hazel

Thanks for that, I'll give it try!
