I'm hoping for some advice please. I usually research in Cheshire, so I am not very familiar with your area and registration districts. Ann Robson(single woman, sometimes enumerated as a widow) b.abt 1827(Ryton or Greenside) was last seen on the 1901CR at 48 John Street, Gosforth, she then lived with one of her sons Thomas Robson aged 38. By 1911 Thomas is living at the same address, but has now married. Since Ann Robson doesn't appear to be on the 1911CR at all, I was expecting to find a death registration 1901-1911 in the Castle Ward - would this be correct if she died at her last known address? If she was buried in this area would All Saints, Gosforth or St Nicholas, Gosforth be a likely burial place, or was there a municipal cemetery available at this time?

There are quite a few Ann Robson's registered with in this time frame, so I am just hoping to narrow down the odds a little before having to decide to look for a church record or pay for several death certificates from other registration districts.

I'm currently researching the family of Thomas Ives Brayne Hostage (1791-1862). His wife was Mary Wood of Burslem. They lived at Winnington Bank nr Northwich in Cheshire.
A possible baptism for Mary Wood is 23 APR 1790 to Enoch & Ann of Burslem.

I would like to try and prove a link with Enoch Wood, and I believe there is a announcement of the marriage of T.I.B.Hostage & Mary Wood in the Staffordshire Advertiser 19th NOV 1816 which might help, but I'm unable to find on-line with the British Newspaper Archives.

Also if anyone knows the details of the LWAT of Enoch Wood (died 1840) and knows how his daughter Mary is decribed/named that would be extremely helpful.

I do know that the Registers of Electors for Pire Hill, Burslem note that from 1832 - 1861 Thomas Ives Brayne Hostage of Winnington had voting rights connected to Seven Freehold Houses and Land known as Fountain Buildings, which I believe was the site of Enoch Woods Pottery Works.
Also in 1861, 2 of Mary's sisters were living with TIB & Mary Hostage in Winnington, both died at Winnington and both were buried at St Helen's Church, Witton (Northwich).

They were:- Edna Stanton and Sarah Lidiard


Any help much appreciated, as my knowledge is mostly confined to mid-Cheshire.

I believe these are at Birmingham Reference Libary?

Would anyone be able to look at the marriage entries for

Elizabeth Rebecca TAME = James Allen 20 DEC 1831

Mary Ann TAME = Thomas Simmon(d)s 23 MAY 1825

I'm hoping that they are sisters and I'd especially like to know who the witnesses were for each event.

kind regards.

Looking for any information on Vernon & Son of Liverpool, Iron Ship Builders.

I know Thomas Vernon the founder was born in Cheshire (possibly Davenham) around 1799 and he died in Wem, Shropshire in 1861 he was buried in Toxteth Cemetery SEP 1861.

First wife was a Christiana COHILL/COXHILL, who died in 6 MAY 1845 at Roscommon St, Everton - there was 1 surviving son from this marriage, John VERNON b.abt 1820 died 13 MAR 1874. Possible marriage to Ann HOLMES

Second wife for Thomas was Ann Heatley (widow) of Shropshire.

The details of Thomas's 2nd marriage to Ann Heatley (widow) show his father to have been Thomas VERNON, a Boiler Maker. But at the present time there is some doubt as to which Thomas Vernon this might be. There may be siblings for Thomas (junr.) that were involved in similar trades who also moved to Liverpool and later Kingston-upon-Hull.

any sighting would be most welcome - although I do have all of the census details thanks.
