Yes Carole that is her. Maybe it was Hugh Tunney you helped me out with, her grandfather.

Hi Carole. We have spoken before a couple of years ago. This is the infamous Alice Tunney I've been looking for for years.
The information you posted is correct and I'm just waiting for confirmation with certificates. Probably going to be delayed at the moment. Thanks for your help once again.

Hi Igor Strav
I know very little about this couple and don't know if they had any children or were in touch with anyone on the Povey side of the family. My purpose in getting in touch with anyone who knew them is to find out more about them.
Thanks for the research on the marriage. I had found this recently.
Many thanks for your help.

Looking for any relatives or friends of the above named gentleman and his wife Alice . Both are deceased. Kenneth about 1989 and Alice in 1996. On the electoral rolls either one or both were living in Mosley St Southport between 1963 and 1994. Alice died in a nursing home in Southport.

Pembrokeshire / Re: Elizabeth Benyon

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to respond. There are lots of leads to look at there.
I should know better than to assume all information on censuses and even on marriage certificates are entirely accurate.
Its interesting that trish has Elizabeth Benyon on a census aged 50 ( obviously not the one Im looking for but there must surely be a connection because my Elizabeth Benyon was staying with her aunty and uncle on the Wirral in 1871whose name was Sherlock, same name as William on the 1891 census.
As the saying goes: there are more questions than answers.
Thanks once again to you all. Lot more work to do but that's how it is.

Pembrokeshire / Elizabeth Benyon
« on: Thursday 12 September 19 11:42 BST (UK) »
Hello.
I have come up against a brickwall with my great grandmother Elizabeth Tunney.
On the 1871 census she was aged 9 living with her aunty and uncle in Wallasey as Elizabeth Benyon born in Steynton Pembrokeshire in 1864. On her marriage certificate in 1882 ( I think ) her father is named as George Benyon ( deceased ). I appreciate the name Benyon may have many different spellings. Can anyone point me in the right direction as I can find no further trace of her or her mother and father in Steynton.
Regards,
David

Thanks very much Ray. I don't expect you will have any luck given that I don't have a street or road. Pleas don't spend too much time on it. I will have to get up there myself.
I'm going to try the Southport Visitor again to see if any locals remember either of them.

Thanks Gadget and Carole
I have sent for her birth certificate to check date.
Don't know why I didn't see the registration before.
Yes Carole you are right but I am revisiting this particular brick wall in the light of the Povey connection that I have only been made aware of last week.
