Liverpool Censuses 1861/71/81/91 - Wunderley

[ozchook]

Will some kind person please help me find my maternal great-grandmother, Jane Elizabeth Wunderley? Familysearch.com shows Jane Eliz. Wunderley, B:9.2.1861, Christened 20.2.1861 St. Peter, Liverpool. Parents shown as Francis and Jane Wunderley.
Francis Wonderley, B: 9.3.1854, C:16.4.1854 St. Nicholas, Liverpool; parents also shown as Francis and Jane W., may be a brother.

Freebmd shows a marriage for a Jane Wunderley and Thomas HUME, March Q 1884 Liverpool.

A story emerged from a relative who was doing research five years ago, who died soon after, that Jane left behind a family of five in Liverpool and went to work in a 'big house' in Salford or Manchester. She became pregnant to the master of the house, or his son, then a husband was 'found' for her. That person was John Collens and I have found the family on the 1901 census in Salford.

Freebmd shows a marriage for Jane Elizabeth Wunderley in 1893 Sept. Q, to John Collens. John Wlm Collens (their first child) birth entry 1893 Dec. Q.

I don't have any information about Jane Elizabeth, other than the above, so if anyone can find her and her family I would be most grateful.

Thanks in anticipation, regards, Irene

Oh Darcy, Thank you so much for finding the family. This is such a nice present for mum, who celebrates her 81st birthday tomorrow. She remembers the early 30s when she and her siblings would always go to Jane Elizabeth's house - next door - after school to have their dinner, as mum's mum was out working.
I am delighted. Many, many thanks. Irene

Irene,

I didn't have any luck finding Jane in 1891. I tried for a Jane Hume as well as you mentioned the marriage to Thomas Hume in 1884.

The other name on the page is Joseph Nelson and strangely I did find a Jane E. and Joseph Nelson living in Blackpool - but the birth date for Jane is 1869 and the birthplace Blackpool.

Here is Frances in 1891 - they didn't age much.

Irene,

Jane Nelson can't be Joseph's sister in law -

Marriages June Quarter 1882 Bolton
Joseph Wonderley
Ellen Parkinson  Volume: 8c   Page: 431

On the 1891 it's Mary E for Joseph's wife. I had a look at the 1901 and it's Mary Ellen.

I think that's Jane Wunderley who is with them - and she married Joseph Nelson in 1884.
