Struggling to find 1881 census information on William Holmes.

Sorry, yeah, didn't think. If it is Kew Street, there's a 14 in front that is presumably the number. Thanks.

That brings up Walmsley and Prescott

I've seen the name Walmsley as a godparent on at least one baptismal record for some of William and Alice's children. Do you have any more information that I can search for? Thanks.

Yes, John and Mary Anne Walmsley (Latinised) are godparents of William b.1884.

Its Richard 50 (widower) marine engine fitter, his son Richard 21 Carter, daughter Clara 19  domestic servant and son Joseph 10 scholar

Sorry to say but I think they (Wm & Alice & family) are not on the 1881 or at least I cannot find them

Thanks, no I can't find them either. Maybe they were out of the country? Alice's parents were Irish so maybe they were there?.

But I followed Richard W. back to 1871 and found John W. And then found him in 1881 with his wife Sarah Anne. He was a carter as well so, I'm guessing, was a workmate of WH hence godparents. Thanks for your help.

I think the 1871 and 1891 entries are the same family. I can find birth records for the children on the GRO website with mother's maiden name Daley/Daly. There is a marriage for William Holmes and Alice Daley 4Q 1867 Liverpool 8b 426.

There were two other children who died :

Francis Holmes SQ 1882 Liverpool 08B 17 , died 1883 ,  address 5 Eldon Street, Liverpool

Catherine Ann Holmes 1880 Liverpool 08B 9
baptism Catharina Anna Holmes 18 Nov 1879 St Anthony's Liverpool , father Gulielmii ( William ), mother Alicia ( formerly Daley ) - street address is given but I can't decipher it.
She died and was buried 27 Sep 1883 Ford Cemetery  , address by this time was 5 Eldon Street as above.

The family is not at Eldon Street in 1881 - they may be at the address which I cannot decipher on Catherine's baptism.

Hello

Just going back to this, where did you search? FreeBMD or Ancestry or somewhere else?  Thanks.
