Thomas Woodburn 1776 Liverpool

[Jaime2013]

Can anyone help me I am doing family tree for a family memeber (uncle by marriage) and I am at a died end. This is what information i have

Thomas Woodburn b-1776 Liverpool, Died- not sure but in 1851 in workhouse in Ulverston, Liverpool

He married Elizabeth Luke (Look) in 1806 Liverpool

They had 2 sons Thomas 1809 (married Frances Clark in 1833) and William 1808-1880 but there is a Jane but 100% sure.

Can anyone find out who this father and mother is and any more information

The 1851 shows his birthplace as Ulverston - not Liverpool

well i have found him born in Liverpool and in Uvlerston

The 1841 census does not show specific birthplaces - just whether somebody was born in the county in which they were living

Ulverston came under Lancashire at that time so if he was living in Liverpool and shown with a Y against the entry - that does not mean he was born there.  Just that he was born in Lancashire

The 1851 is the first census to show actual birthplaces and it shows Ulverston

i think he died in 2851 in a workhouse in Ulverston can you back this up? as i found him as an inmate in 1851 and he died the same year

I have his kids born Thomas 1809, William 1808 in liverpool and died at 1880 Ulverston Liverpool

and i found a Jane which I cant find a birth to

The 1851 shows him in the WH in Ulverstone

Members of the public do not have access to the info on death certs so you would have to buy a copy of the cert to confirm he died in the WH

However - the 1851 death was registered in Preston.  If that was your Thomas and he died in Ulverstone - his death would have been registered in Ulverstone.  There are a number of possibilities in that RD between 1854-1861 and none have ages shown against the entries on freebmd
