Liverpool, St Peter
No. 35
John Potter of the Parish of Liverpool, Boatman, and Fanny Fisher of the same Parish, Spinster were married in this Church by Banns this third Day of February in the Year One Thousand eight Hundred and Seven by me, L. Pughe, Curate
This Marriage was solemnized between us, John Potter (he signed) the mark of X Fanny Fisher in the presence of James Taylor and Robert Johnson (likely the local clergy witnesses, they have witnessed several other marriages during that month in that register),
A voting register has an entry for a
John Potter, mariner of Brick St, in district 69, in Liverpool in 1806. The image on a page that commences this list reads:
An Alphabetical list of the Freemen
With the names of the candidates
For whom they respectively polled
At the election for the members of parliament,
In LIVERPOOL,
From the 1st to the 8th November 1806
The Figures in the last Column signify the Watchman’s District in which the person lives. So to me, it seems that the mariner, John Potter, Brick St was in the then watchman’s district of 69. Also I have looked for any males with surname FISHER (as candidates for Fanny's dad, same parish etc) on that roll, there’s plenty, but I cannot see any in that same watchman’s district 69.
I am not familiar with UK voter rolls searching at such intimate indepth detail, so I apologise if this sighting has nothing to benefit this thread.
I do note that the baptism I posted earlier for 1779, and this marriage I have transcribed here, and this electoral roll entry are all part of that same family history submitted tree I mentioned earlier. And it seems are being copied to other trees...
So I will also mention that it seems possible that the lad born 1779 had a sister, and here is her baptism as per my reading of the parish register for that event:
Garston, St Michael
Toxteth Park,
Ann, Daughter of John Potter, Labourer, and Ann his wife was born 7th November and baptised 9th December 1781.I am attaching a pdf, newsletter unaltered. NO I cannot, file too large. I will make a separate post after re-doing pdf etc. May be after lunch (11:46 am in NSW Australia
