Sarah Livingstone / Livingston
« on: Monday 15 April 24 21:59 BST (UK) »
Leopold Lowenstein was born about 1849 in  Germany. In July 1869 he married Sarah Jones in Wrexham Parish Church. He was a glazier.
Sarahs father was Richard Jones a carpenter.
1871 Leopold Livingstone and Sarah b 1846 Ruabon are in Broughton Wrexham with 6 year old Janet Jones, daughter.
In 1874 Leopold Livingstone put a notice in the Wrexham Advertiser stating he won't be responsible for his wife Sarah's debts
In 1879 Leopold Livingstone married Harriet Bennett in Chorlton. They had 3 sons 1880, 1882 and 1883 b Wrexham mmn Bennett.
In 1881 they are living in Broughton.


In 1891 Harriet took Leopold to court.

The defendant was Leopold Livingstone, glazier, of Pentre Broughton, who was summoned by Harriet Livingstone, or Bennett. in respect of three children.
The facts of the case showed that the defendant and plaintiff were married on May 10th, 1879, and had lived together ever since, while there had been born three children.
The first witness, however, who was called was Sarah Livingstone, who said she had been married to the defendant on July 14th 1868 in the Parish Church at Wrexham. She had lived with the defendant until 1874, and had not seen him until two or three years ago.

Harriet and Leopold stayed together.
I am trying to find Sarah in 1881 and later census records. Did they have children.

There are these born Chorlton. I can't find them in census or any baptisms. Leopold and Harriett married in Chorlton.
Agnes isn't with Leopold and Sarah in 1871.
LIVINGSTON, AGNES mmn    JONES  GRO Reference: 1869  J Quarter in CHORLTON 
 LIVINGSTON, MARY  JANE mmn  JONES  GRO Reference: 1871  D Quarter in CHORLTON

Can anyone trace Agnes and Mary Jane, and where was Sarah after 1871.
Were they Sarah's daughters.
I'm not finding another Jones / Livingstone marriage.

Janet was born before the marriage so was she Sarah's illegitimate daughter or had Sarah been previously married to another Jones

There is a  Jennet Jones registered Wrexham 1865 March quarter vol 11B page 353
no mother's maiden name given = illegitimate.

The would be Sarah Jones daughter.

Thanks.  That counts those out.
Still searching for Janet and Sarah after 1874. It looks possible that they had no children as none are mentioned in the court case.
Leopold was a respected man and was used as an interpreter when needed for the Wrexham Lager Company. 🍺🍺🍺

In 1881 Janet appears to be in Knutsford Cheshire barmaid in the household of Thomas Warburton.  Transcribed as    Janneth Livingston.

In 1891 census Leopold has his 3 sons with him.
Harriet isn't there.
The court case was published 30 May 1891.

No sign of Harriet as Livingstone or Bennett.
