Erm - what does PM mean?
Right.... George Tebb (who died in Whiston Workhouse in 1880) was born in Bootle cum Linacre, Liverpool (not registerd!) and was baptised on 2 Jul 1841 Ormskirk. His death was on 6 Nov 1880 and buried on 8 Nov 1880 St Helens. He apparently died of 'mania and apoplexy' which is interesting and rather fits in with the mental health problems that many of the Tebb family suffered (from way back in Yorkshire and down to the present day in both descendants!) He was a tailor, apparently, but had previously been in the 18th Hussars (who apparently served in India for a time) and perhaps it was this experience that upset his mental equilibrium. He was only 39 when he died... so it doesn't seem to add up that he was only suffering from a mental condition. (It could be that I've misunderstood what the condition might have entailed, however!
)
(It was this George Tebb's son, also George Tebb, who was 'big' in the Salvation Army (1872-1929) in St Helens... but that's a separate story)
I'm intrigued about the Rimmer connection (Ann Rimmer) and will have to see what I can find out... she was 28 at her death so it isn't possible to say, at the moment, if she was married or single and there are LOADS of Ann Rimmers for Lancashire and Prescot registration area. Still we'll see what turns up!
All the best,
Gill
