Blimey and I was in Southport yesterday!!  I take a day off and just look what I miss!!  If you decide you want Doreen's find contacted, let me know the name and I'll give them a call.

So yes it would seem that the marriage which Carole found is likely to be the right one, but doesn't seem to have lasted, which is a shame.

I still think your best bet is a message on the icliverpool (Liverpool Echo) for any descendants.  An obit is fairly unlikely to bring results, us Brits don't seem to eulogise in the same way as our American cousins and give all family history in the paper when somebody dies, usually it's just the time of the funeral and a bible quote.  No harm in checking of course, but the Echo won't do the work for you, it'll have to be a visit to the Record Office to check the film, if anybody's going.

I wonder if Elizabeth remarried .... but that's a lot of years to work through.

Freddiebean, just wanted to mention that your Avatar has got the copyright info under it, that covers you for that, so to avoid having any of your look ups deleted just make sure you type up entries, so that they are your own transcription, and don't copy and paste, that's the no-no.  The references are always helpful, so do as you did and include them too.

I know we aren't following backwards but just in case the enumerator in 1901 got it right, I wondered whether Emily had been married previously and had actually started life as a Cottrill, but it wouldn't seem so, she seems to have been a Richards in 1891 if I have the right family, and no Cottrills in sight anyway.  I'm suspecting the reason why they have been enumerated in 1901 as "daughter" and grandchildren, is because they are still living in her parents house while they aren't present themselves.

It seems as if she may have had an interesting life herself ....

1891 - 74 Rockfield Road, Walton on the Hill, Liverpool
Robert Richards Head M 56 Insurance? Agent ?? Lancashire
Anora Wife M 50 Liverpool
Emily daur S 28 Professor of Music Liverpool
Waltor son M 25 Ship's Steward Liverpool
Robert W Son S 21 Insurance AGent New York USA
Alice daur 17 New York USA
RG12/2979; Folio 61; Page 22

Writing isn't so good so not positive about the father's occupation and I have no idea where in Lancashire his birthplace is.  But at least it confirms the 1901 details.
