Hi William, did you find any further information on Lizzie?  I'm asking because a few years back I purchased the 1911 census for my old family home in Longsight Manchester and that sent me off on more research around my old street.  Across the road from the family home was 'Alberts Corner Store' on the corner of Longden Road in Longsight.  The shop has been there since the street was built circa 1901.  Albert ran the shop from the mid 1960s until the late 1970s.  The 1911 census states that the shop owner was a Susannah Doyle, a widower, but more interesting was she lived with a Lizzie Maria Black.  Susannah was on the census as shop keeper and Lizzie as assistant, Susannah as head of house and Lizzie as 'friend'.  Very curious as to two ladies living together at the time in 1911.  Your research shows Lizzie married in 1897, single in 1911.  Any further information gratefully received.

Thanks,its interesting that Lizzie Maria Black died in 1923.Her Probate record shows she left quite a considerable sum of money to Susannah Doyle.

The house she passed away at, quite a nice one.  She lead a colourful life it seems.  Possible marriage but died a spinster with a nice amount of money in the bank for that time.  I wonder what happened to her relationship with Susannah at the shop?  The shop is in Longsight, the house is in Blackley, so I doubt very much she travelled there and back to work in it unless the tram system of 1911 was so efficient one could get on in North Manchester and be in South Manchester ready for work early in the morning.  I do wish the census for 1921, 31 and 51 were released early!  These are important documents for piecing together history!

the Black family were very comfortably off for the time.
