Hello all, I was wondering if any of you have an AGNES M KNIGHT and a ROBERT H KNIGHT. they are on the 1881 census as stepchildren to GEORGE OWENS and MARIA OWENS so I presume they were her children to a previous marriage. It says GEORGE OWENS born Liverpool MARIA OWENS born Shropshire AGNES and ROBERT born b-Head. Hope you can help. regards Barbara Terrace Northwich Cheshire. researching BIRKETT FORSTER HAMPSON MOLYNEUX OWENS WOODS.

>From Liverpool mercury March 22nd 1833 Dreadful accident-child burnt to death On Monday afternoon the daughter of Mr SIDLER collector of taxes, Tranmere Cheshire was left in a room where a fire had recently been laid, and went out with a candle to procure a light to kindle the fire: she placed the lighted candle under her pinafore to shelter it from the wind, and it is suposed that her dress took fire by that means. Her father who was sleeping upstairs, was aroused by her screams and on awakening discovered her enveloped in flames. She died a few minutes later. Her father was sadly injured in his endeavors to save the little girl who was six years old and an only child .........................

Hi george Thanks for that. I have had a great response from owners of other CDs and young McGaul seems not to have been in Cheshire that night. Unless he was out playing or staying over and fell between stools as it were.

I have been using my new CFHS CD-ROMs of the Census in Birkenhead and Tranmere (2175) and one name I was 99% certain would appear there was James Hannay McGaul. But he wasn't!! If you have any of the other area CD-ROMs and spot the name McGaul in the index, I'd appreciate it if you'd look for me to see if it relates to my target who would be 9-10 years old. Many thanks, Gil Upton

In doing some cross checking between the 1851 and 1881 Censuses (CD-ROMs) I noticed that what has been transcribed by LDS in 1881 as Edgemont (Cheshire and Cumberland) is Egremont in 1851. The latter sounds right to me - has anyone esle come across this and reached the same conclusion? Gil Upton
