Ann Finn, nee Logan death

[liverpoolgenealogy]

I've had trouble finding a death record for my ancestor Ann Finn, nee Logan.

She was born in Liverpool on 2 May 1820 and baptised on 7 May 1820, the daughter of Daniel Logan, and Ann, Irish immigrants.

Marriage record:

William Finn 22, bachelor, labourer, Arley Street, Michael Finn, tailor
Ann Logan, 25, spinster, -, Arley street, Daniel Logan, labourer

She appears on each census from 1841–1881, with no issues.

1841: Arley Street
Daniel Logan 50          Labourer   Ireland
Ann   do     50                 Ireland
Ann   do   40                 Ireland
Ann   do   19         Seamstress Lancashire
John   do   15                 Lancashire
Daniel do   13                 Lancashire

1851: 60 Gildarts Gardens
William Finn, Head, Married, 28, Labourer, Ireland
Ann do, Wife, Married, 29, -, Liverpool
Alice do, daughter, unmarried, 3, -, Liverpool
Catherine do, daughter, unmarried, 6 mo., -, Liverpool

1861: 13 Court, Gildarts Gardens
William Finn, Head, Married, 38, stoker on steam ship, Ireland
Ann do, Wife, Married, 39, -, Liverpool
Mary do, daughter, -, 13, scholar, Liverpool (was enumerated in 1851 with Ann’s father, listed as his niece)
Alice do, daughter, -, 11, scholar, Liverpool
Margaret do, daughter, -, 8, scholar, Liverpool
Rose do, daughter, -, 5, scholar, Liverpool
William do, son, -, 5, -, Liverpool

1871:7 Gildarts Gardens
William Finn, Head, Married, 47, fireman at sea, Carlow, Ireland
Ann do, Wife, Married, 48, -, Liverpool
Mary do, daughter, unmarried, 23, lace bag maker, Liverpool
Rose do, daughter, unmarried, 15, servant, Liverpool
William do, son, unmarried, 11, scholar, Liverpool
Michael do, son, unmarried, 9, scholar, Liverpool

1881: 10 Gildarts Gardens
William Finn, Head, Married, 61, general labourer, Ireland
Ann do, Wife, Married, 60, -, Liverpool
Mary Duff, daughter, married, 33, -, Liverpool
Lucy do, granddaughter, -, 7 mo., - , Liverpool
Michael do, son, unmarried, 19, general labourer, Liverpool



Last piece of information I have of Ann is from the workhouse in 1882. She was admitted on 11 Sep 1882, from 51 Portland Street suffering with paralysis, and discharged on 27 October.

In 1885, her husband's workhouse records record his next of kin as his daughter, Rose Kerley, rather than his wife.

William dies on 20 November 1887, his wife is not the informant.

Possible 1891 census for Ann:

West Derby Workhouse
Ann Finn, 69, pauper, general domestic servant, Ireland

An 1892 death, that I thought was plausible for her I have just discounted this morning, see my post in the handwriting and deciphering board.


The only other potential option I can find is a Oct-Nov-Dec 1894 registration:
Finn    Anne    72    Prescot    8b   430

But this is problematic, as no other person in her family had their death registered in Prescot. That doesn't mean this isn't the correct record, of course, but I would like some advice, if possible, about any other routes, or any other helpful information anyone else can provide.


Thanks!

There's an Ann Finn married to Patrick on the 1851 census in West Derby (in case the 1894 death is hers)  Born Ireland 1821.

In 1891 she is 70 and on her own as a widow.

working on the assumption that she died before William, could this be her death, the informant only guessing her age?

Deaths Sep 1884   (>99%)
Finn    Ann    53    Liverpool    8b   14

Thanks to both of you for your replies. I think I may try ordering both of the certificates, even if neither of them are her, I know I could discount them both.


Thanks to you both!

Ancestry has the burial of the 1884 death with Anne living at 8 Saltney St

Thank you for pointing this out! Looks like Saltney St. is right on the docks, so around the right area. Ford cemetery is where a lot of this family were buried too, so looks promising!
