Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Henry family missing from 1871 census in Toxteth
« on: Saturday 15 May 21 17:59 BST (UK)  »
Thank you Mark.  It's good to know that somebody else has had the same experience with godparents being children.

My Henry family came from the Warrenpoint area of Ireland.

The Voters list for 1869 and the death record you found both within the same area of Liverpool together with the burial record in Ford Cemetery are looking good and as you say worth a punt on getting the death certificate.   

What were the criteria for voting in 1869?  Did you have to be a house owner to be eligible to vote or did all males get a vote?  Where could I view the list for 1871 as he could be on that Voters list?

Thank you for your information.

Thanks for your posts

I have the baptismal record for Hugh Henry with Mary Jane as Godmother but she would only have been eleven years of age at the time. 

Were children of that age allowed to be god parents?

Yes,  it looks like this could be a possibility for her in 1871,  in the Penitentiary for Fallen Women in Liverpool.

Mary Jane’s first husband died at sea after only seven years of marriage and she was left with four young children.  She married again a few years later but had no further children.

Thank you Maiden Stone & Alamo for your advice which is very interesting and I will consider when faced with a problem.  In reply to Alamo, Hugh Henry was a painter and was born in Ireland as was his wife Margaret.

Thanks again to all who replied.

Thank you Alamo for your interest in my brick wall.  The address given on the marriage certificate for Hugh’s son John is Fletcher Street, Toxteth Park.  The death registration you mentioned for Hugh doesn’t tie in with his DOB unfortunately and I have no record of his wife’s death in 1868.

Thank you  Maid of Kent and Sandblown.  Had not thought of the info on the marriage certificate which might reveal the father of the bride and groom.

The record of the marriage is not on FreeBMD but is on Findmypast.

Thank you all.
