Flamin eck!!

Thanks Carol, you seem to have gotten a lot further than i have. You can find my tree on Genes Reunited if you want to have a look, you prob have more info than me tho. I will keep digging tho, would be interesting to find out what happened after 1911, prob have to wait till the 1921 census.

Hi Carol

WOW!!!! 

Firstly thanks for your reply.

There is loads of info i can use if its the same tree we are talking about. I only say this cuz i have other info which doesn't relate to what you have given me, and i dont want to concentrate on your info if its not the womack i am looking for at the moment, even though we are related somewhere down the line.
Having said that i have arthurs death and marraige cert. His death cert shows he died on 25/9/1911, aged 56 years, and he married mary  on 11/9/1888, indicating he was born in 1855 (thats as far as i got)

I did give up for a while because it was becoming too expensive, but you have relit my interest in finging out more about the womacks.

I amplanning to visit liverpool the end of april, i might visit liverpool central library to see if i can further my investigations (i live in birmingham)

I hope too here from you soon

Wow Thanks David

I will certainly look into some of those names you gave me!!

If anyone has come across them on the 1911 census please let me know.

(11.03.09)  I have been doing some more research and come up with a possible theory.....

(Bare with me a little)

Arthur died in Sep 1911. I have been looking on the 1911 census and come across a family with an Elizabeth Womack as head (I don't know if Arthurs wife Mary had a middle name yet, looking into it), living with her mother Sarah Edwards..... and edwards is the maiden name of Mary (See where I am coming from?)

Now the confusing part! My grandad isn't on it, although 2 sons are showing one is Thomas Arthur Womack (Arthur being the name ofmarys late husband). Also 2 nephews are showing Phillip Nelson Womack, and Thomas Nelson Womack (both have same middle names???). Could Mary have brothers or sisters living nearby, where my grandad (william) may have gone to live?, because there were no benefits etc back then, perhaps she couldn't afford to keep the house they were living in (Wilfer street) so had to split the family up.

The address concerned is 15 Hawdon Street, West Derby, Liverpool


Any Ideas to my theory anyone??

cheers

Hi David

Another thing is he was in the Royal Army Ordanance Corps, as private 14772099. But I have never been able to find anything relating to this.

Hi David

My Dad has always said he had about 8 or 9 brothers, but no sisters, and he was the youngest. I don't know how accurate this is, he also said that William hardly ever spoke about his family.

Cheers

Hi David

Yes, I have a copy of his birth cert.

Born 12th August 1909, William Alfred Womack, Mother was Mary (nee Edwards), Father was Arthur. They lived at 44 Wilfer Street, Edge Hill at the time. Although on 1911 census  there was a Morris family living there.

Let me know if you need anything else

Thanks

Hi Tati

Thanks for the info. I think the Womack you mentioned is the same Arthur who's death cert I spoke about living at 70 Wilfer street.

He was 56 when he died so that certainly matches to as well as his spouse and occupation. He died on 25th September 1911, so I suppose if the census wasn't compiled then, it may be a reason why we can't find him.

Would Mary show up on a search? I know she wouldn't appear on electoral role as Women weren't allowed vote then. Is this the same for the census?

I will keep running with this Arthur and see where it takes me :)


Thanks again

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Womack - West Derby

Hi Everyone!

Can anyone help me?

I am looking for my grandparents from around 1911. I have some details and have tried the 1911 Census but keep coming to a blank.  The surname is Womack, from  the Edge Hill in West Derby, Liverpool, Lancashire area.

My Grandfathers Birth Cert. shows them living at 44 Wilfer Street, Edge Hill in 1909, but there is a family called Morris at that address in 1911.

His name was William Womack, his father was Arthur Womack, a coachfitter, and his mother was Mary Womack. I think his father died in 1911 (I have a death cert for an A Womack, coachfitter - how many can there be ??) , at which time they were at 70 Wilfer street. However, again there is a family called Padden at that address.

So I am getting a little lost as to where they keep disappearing to, and its starting to cost a fortune looking at different addresses on the 1911 census, and apart from going to Liverpool and spending hours at the Electoral Offices, I am stuck.

If anyone knows where I might be able to at least view the Electoral Role for that area in 1911 that would be great, or indeed any help would be appreciated

Thanks all ???
