LIVERPOOL LOOK UPS

[ange]

Hi Florida girl,
Could you possibly look up a couple of marriages for me?
I'm looking for the marriages of Maria McKittrick to George Maddocks in the mar quarter of 1882 at Holy Trinity, Toxteth Park. And the marriage of her sister Jessie McKittrick to Henry Maddocks in the dec quarter of 1889 at All Saints, Toxteth Park. If you can get printouts I'm willing to reimburse you.
Thanks in advance
Ange

Any chance you have access to the 1851 Census in Liverpool?  I am looking for David SPRATT and have the following info from an index:

vol. 24 Rodney Street Ward (part)
SPRATT David  p9A

I am particularly interested in anyone else that may be enumerated with him.  I have no information on his parents and would like to find anything to get me beyond this roadblock!

Thanks!
Wendy

Hi,
I went to the library today and checked the Daily Post for the date you gave but found no obituaries. I enquired as to which newspaper would be best to look in and was told that the Liverpool Echo only started after 1862 and neither the Echo or the Daily Post carried many obituaries, it was only for really well known people.
I tried to look in the "WORTHIES"  (people of note) but the records for that didn't start till around 1870.
I did have a look through the WILLS and found George Deakins will listed.
Do you have a copy of this? I wrote down the details in case you haven't.
He was very well-off wasn't he?

There is another source I can try, but it's held in the Archive room, you have to order the records you need and they bring them out to you about every half hour and I didn't have time to do this today, but I'll try next time I go.

If you have a marriage date for George and Ann Deakin I could look for any children they had.

Sorry about the obits, but if you want the details of the Will, let me know.

Regards
Viv.

Hi Viv,
Many thanks for going through the papers for me.........I told you he was elusive didn't I?
I do have the will thanks, as soon as I had a date of death I applied for a search at York and was successful! I have been able to track his children through the census but am trying to establish links to his siblings as I believe they were all established Salt Proprietors shipping through the port of Liverpool, but George Deakin was the only one who moved to Liverpool from Northwich, Cheshire(via Weston Point). I have one confirmation on the will of a sibling connection but was hoping an obit may have had a list of male mourners which in the past has proved a very useful source.
Thanks again for all your endeavours on my behalf.

Hi Odessa,
Have you got any details of the marriage of George Deakins parents? Also the dob of George. I could look to see if there were any other Deakins born around the same period.

It might also be worth me having a look through another couple of days in the paper for the next few days in June (I think I looked through till the 2nd) If he did have family still over in Runcorn it may have taken a bit longer to put anything in the paper.

It might take me a few visits but I think it's worth a try.

Let me know what you think anyway.

I've still got the other things to look at in the Archive room as well, something might turn up there.



Hi Viv,
George Deakins probable siblings were Thomas, James, John, William & Fanny. George Deakins business interests were in mid-Cheshire(salt interests in Wharton & Over and a Boatyard on the R.Weaver) All the probable siblings had salt interests in mid-Cheshire and all shipped along the R.Weaver through Liverpool. George being the most successful...........I get the feeling he ran the business out of Liverpool and had managers in at mid-Cheshire.
All the other siblings remained domiciled in mid-Cheshire and after the death of George, his 2 sons and widow also moved here for a period.
I know his youngest son George Henry Deakin was buried at Southdown-Lane Cemetery, Liverpool.[*possibly Smithdown Lane Cemetery, also known as Toxteth Park Cemetery- doubt arises from Newspaper report and my hopeless knowledge of Liverpool]

The George Deakin who is sibling to the above was born 30 NOV 1809 at Witton (you would probably know this these days as Northwich) to James & Fanny Deakin
A marriage of a George Deakin to Ann Rhodes 03 Apr 1839 at Runcorn cites father as James Deakin, so are these one and the same? Apart from  a shared occupation and the mention of a younger brother William of Witton St in his will and census p.o.b as Witton.......that's all the evidence I have to link George to James & Fanny and the other children. Pretty conclusive I grant you, but I would have preferred a  direct reference to a relative or sibling which is what I was hoping for from an obit.
Don't spend too much of your time on George......    I'm more than grateful for your efforts so far, it's just as important knowing where he isn't

Thanks Viv! I really appreciate that you can do this.  I'm hoping to find some clue that will lead me to more Spratts.   This family started out in Liverpool and ended up in Preston,  but I've yet to discover much more about them.
