Place name in Cheshire: Wareham

[Boongie Pam]

It's probably becasue it is very late and I'm sleepy 

But I've just found a relative Susan PHYTHIAN age 58 in 1851 living with her husband Richard in Huyton Lancashire.  Her bith place is given as Wareham Cheshire.

I can't find a Wareham in Cheshire.

Is it just doziness on my part?

Ta,
Pam

Hi Pam

          It is more than likely to be Weaverham, there does not seem to be a marriage indexed for her in Cheshire, don't suppose you have a maiden name at all ?

Unfortunately not.

That's what I'm trying to track down.  I have the gravestone mi in Huyton but nothing more on this lady.  She is variable on whether her name is Susannah or Susan. 

In 1861 her place of birth is Winsford, in 1871 it is Birkenhead.

Quite the elusive beings these wives of Phythians.  That sounds Shakespearean!

Her son Aaron Phythian lived in Oxton married to an Alice who was from Oxton but we can't find her maiden name either!  Though I know the birth cert of one of Aaron and Plice's children would give it to me.

Aaron Phythian married Alice H Baines in a Warrington Civil Marriage between 1886 and 1890.

You'll find quite a number of Phythians married in Cheshire on www.cheshirebmd.org.uk On here you can find the marriage, click the reference and download a partially completed form to print and send off for a copy certificate, £7.00.

Thanks for that Mary - I do forget about the local bmd sites - I'm used to Scotland where they are all central.

 

To confuse matters a tad - that Aaron (marrying an Alice) is the son (or grandson my notes are at home, I'm not :-) ) of Aaron and Alice who I'm looking for.

I estimate that my Aaron and Alice married ~ 1843 as they have a daughter age 7 in 1851 called Lydia.

This is my stepdad's line and I've been a bit reluctant to send for children's certificates to get the name but that is teh answer.  For Susannah it's a bit difficult as all her offspring were born pre-1837.

Ta,
Pam
