Hi. Wow...I wasn't expecting such a flurry of activity on this so soon!!!

Okay...apologies as my initial posting, having re-read it wasn't that clear on Robert's name, which was Robert Hughes Thomas.

This Florence definitely married Alexander McAdam in 1907, and her age on the 1911 Census implies a birth year of 'abt 1883' and I know she was from Bootle. I also know that she had a sister Lillie which would tie in with the baptism that has been located (same residence, father's name and trade too).

I wonder if they had been orphaned pre- 1901.

And another...

Hi,

Richard and Bella had six children between 1870 and 1887.

I have a copy of the birth certificate of Arthur Tyrrell, who was born in 1887. This atates that the mother was 'Isabella Tyrrell, formerly Headley'

I also the transcription of a further two children; these being:

(This address matches the abode of the family the following year in 1871, where she is named simply 'Bella (sic)'.

THen we have the following entry:

Finally, there is an entrie for the following Tyrrell birth on the following site with the mother's maiden name stated as being 'Headley':

Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1878 [http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/cgi/birthind.cgi]

Surname Forename(s)   Sub-District   Registers At   Mother's Maiden Name Reference
TYRRELL Richard           Blackburn      Blackburn      HEADLEY

All of these chiildren can be found living with Richard and Bella.

Having just looked at these births listed as such, it does seem that they moved around a fair bit initially...
