Elizabeths surname isnt listed on anything Ive found online.

Not sure whether you are aware that you can get mothers maiden names from the GRO birth register

Just one more mystery to solve ..... what is the significance of the title of the thread - "Mullato" ?

Been bugging me all along!!!

It was once used to refer to those of a mixed race. The term is now considered to be offensive.

Was on restoration board and before I realised I'd done this....so if not required please delete, regards, John.

Can anyone find the Samuel Horricks family on the '41? If Elizabeth was born in '38, then she should be on it.

I have found their daughter Ellen I believe, with a Hughes family. There is a Mary Hughes and a Mary was a witness at the marriage of Elizabeth and Henry.

I posted the photo of Mary Jane on Facebook. Somebody came back said who is the half caste looking woman? My first search for a Henry Parker living in Liverpool at the time had Mulatto as his race. I just presumed then Gt Gt Gt grandpapa Henry was half black. My Grandma had olive skin and jet black hair they all did and a broad face and nose. Now Im having trouble finding Henrys birth in Kentucky US for that year  1836! Guess some records fall through the net. Thanks for your help!
P.s dont you think she looks Mulatto?

It was not a word I had ever come across before. Hence my question as to what it meant!

Jam jar I have Betsy Horrocks a 12 year old on 1851 census in next  street to where Elizabeth and Henry go on to live. Clement Street is where Esther Horrocka lives. Her Mum.

I suspect she "lost" a few years over time.

3 Court, Clement Street, St Martins Liverpool

Esther 57 bn Lancaster Knowsley
Mary 18
Jane 16
BETSY 12    all children bn Liverpool

Yes, the '51 was posted earlier. It is the '41 I can't find her on.
