Samuel Lidgard

[Zappah]

Hi everyone,
I am trying to research Samuel Lidgard who was born in 1863 in Grimsby.His father was Nicholson Lidgard and the family moved to Gorton Manchester and they had a fish shop on Tibb Street, Manchester. In the 1911 census he is 48 and married to a lady called Gertrude who is 28! Two sons are listed at the house Samuel who was 21 and Charlie, my mother in law's father, who was 16. I am trying to find out who is first wife was, presumably she was the mother of the two sons.
Any more information on the family would be much appreciated.

Regards

Zappah

There is a marriage for Samuel Lidgard

Jun 1883, Manchester 8d/217

with possible spouse Catherine Creery or Agnes Garside.

In 1901 Samuel is already widowed with four children.

I'll go back to 1891 to see what i can find.

Hello Zappah

In 1901 Samuel is a widower with 4 children.  In 1891 he has 2 children, Samuel 2 and May 1 month, and is with wife Agnes.

This looks as though it could be their marriage and Agnes' death.
