Lancashire / Hesketh family Liverpool 1909
« on: Tuesday 07 January 25 14:56 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I am looking for help with my grandfather. His name was James Hesketh b 1909 Liverpool

I’ve seen him in the 1911 census  listed as grandson. I believe his mother is listed above him as Jane Hesketh daughter in law.

Jane wasn’t listed as a widow although no father was present at the time of census.

It says she was married for 2 years although the marriage I found on family search says 1915, West Derby Liverpool. I’m not sure why this would be?

This was to William J Hesketh.

I believe Janes surname was woods because I saw a photo of her gravestone where she was buried alongside her sister Ann Mayor and the marriage I found for a Mayor and Ann lead me to the surname woods…

I would presume the John listed as head of household on the 1911 census was James grandfather, although I can only find a James Hesketh that was listed as one of the children’s fathers on a marriage certificate but that could be poor research on my behalf…

I’m getting very confused wirh what I’m finding and I’m hoping somebody could find something I’ve possibly missed

Thank you in advance.

Fermanagh / Gorrell family Enniskillen pre1860s
« on: Monday 05 June 23 20:04 BST (UK)  »
I’m looking for help on an ancestor of mine.
Her name was Mary Ellen Gordon and she was born 1850 Enniskillen.

Although Gordon was listed as her fathers surname (George Gordon Clog maker) on the marriage certificate to her husband, the surname she used for her first husband was Gorrell.

I think I have the birth certificate and her parents are listed as being Johannes and Maria Gorrell. I believe this was in a Catholic Church…

I can’t find out who Johannes or Maria were, I’ve been looking at this for years! The closest on anything I can find is a John Gorrell that married a Mary Colgan…

Please help! Who was it George or John? Gordon or Gorrell!?

Any input would be greatly appreciated
