Family History Beginners Board / Poulson family Liverpool
« on: Thursday 09 June 11 19:59 BST (UK) »
Have just come across references to this family. I am descended from George Poulson and his second wife Mary Ann nee Hughes. (aka Marian).
The first daughter of this marriage, Joanna, married John Henry James, a master mariner who died off the coast of Nigeria. Their 2nd daughter Ellen Louisa married my gt. grandfather Charles Henry Thompson, an accountant in Manchester. George and Mary Ann had a number of daughters who all seem to have married - 4 in Newcastle - to Murray, Asquith Dobson, Weddell and Gilmour.
Another daughter Eliza married William Smith, a mariner and Elizabeth Ann managed to fit in 4 husbands over 10 years, Craggs, Davies, Cain and Sutherland. His eldest daughter Alice by his first wife married a John Savage who worked for the Mersey Docks and Harbour board, as did their son.
There was a son by first marriage who appears to have died and another George who was baptised twice in Preston and L'pool. Of him I can find no trace, no apparent death anywhere.
George was a tobacconist (or tobacco manufacturer) in Jordan Street, and 51 Upper Harrington Street. Also Simpson Street and New Hall Street.. In 1861 Census Mary Ann was to be found in Birmingham living with two girl lodgers and was described as a tobacconist. No trace of George at that time altho' he is listed in directory. He marries for a third time and dies in Amlwych, Anglesey.
Look forward to hearing from connections.
