Jeanette Many thanks for the reply. I haven't found my lady yet. In '81 she is shown as Margaret Roberts living with husband John at 9, St John's Terrace, Birkenhead, age 25 birthplace Birkenhead. The birth certificate of her daughter Susan (b 22/03/1885) details her as Margaret Roberts formerly TAIT. I found a reference to their wedding on free BMD - Sept 1873- Liverpool 8b 227 - and her name is given as TATE. This spelling was confirmed on Lancashire BMD. Cheshire BMD listed her birth in 1855 and name as Margaret TATE. So there are a couple of certificates to send off for now. But I am still intrigued to know what happened to her in the '61 and '71 census. I've used Ancestry but not found a reference to a Margaret TATE or TAIT born in Birkenhead in 1855.

Unfortunately don't think so. What I have is Lewis and Harriet Whitley living in Marylebone in 1861. Their daughter Rosa, born 1850, married Alfred Bickerdike. Rosa and Alfred and children, Mabel and Charles were living in Upper Norwood in 1891. Lewis and Harriet's son, Henry, born 1860, married Agnes Oakes and they lived in Marylebone with children, Bertie and Rosa. This Rosa married Arnold Graham at Croydon in 1917 and they also lived at Upper Norwood. They have some slight connections with north-west England and my posting is mainly in desperation after loosing track of them in the London area.

FWIW I have a John Sillers/Sellers who married on 7 May 1788 to Mary Johnson, Liverpool St Peter. Maybe they were related.

Dag opnieuw, Peter Sorry to have taken so long to get back to you on this one (you posted to the Birkenhead list on 29th April 2005). I can find no evidence of John SELLARS' talents being much celebrated locally, but he was of course born in Manchester so Birkenhead wouldn't have regarded him as one of its own "sons" no matter how accomplished he was in his particular field or what fame he attained as author of "Chemistianity". Wirral Archives have, however, drawn my attention to this mention of him on page 100 of "Bygone Birkenhead" by J R Kaighin :- "Along here in Bridge Street lived Mr J C Sellars, an inventor. He brought out a patent cement, which became extensively used. Had he confined himself to that he might have prospered, but one invention succeeded another, and his costly experiments seemed to have drained his resources. He published a book, gorgeously bound and illustrated, called "Chemistianitry". The Liverpool Mercury criticised it in merciless fashion." John Carrington SELLARS' first wife was Irish-born Elizabeth Ann ORR, whom he married in Liverpool St Peter in the March Quarter of 1861. After her death in 1880 he's believed to have married Sarah SMITH in Tranmere St Paul in 1882. Sarah was born in Ontario, Canada c1860. His son Barratt Carrington SELLARS was a chemical manufacturer in the Droylsden area of Manchester around 1912, as you'll see if you put that name into a Google searchbox and select the GMCRO site. John appears to have died at the age of 76 in the March Quarter of 1914, the GRO reference being Birkenhead 8a/670. I'll see if I can find find an obituary in the local press when I have a little time to spare (my wife has just returned home after a hip-replacement so I'm down for household chores for the next three months or so). Incidentally, Birkenhead Reference Library have a copy of "Chemistianity", theirs being hand-numbered 471 as opposed to your 233. Hope this helps a little.

Thank you for that Kathy. I was looking in Cheshire for TAIT and there she was "across the water" as TATE. I wonder which spelling was correct. Anyhow, thanks again.

Although it is off topic for this group, it may be of interest to know that there are TAIT folk in Scotland. I have at least one, maybe another, originatin in Leith, Mid Lothian, otherwise a district of Edinburgh.

I've just received a birth certificate for Susan Roberts b 22/3/1885. It shows her mother as "Margaret ROBERTS formerly TAIT. Her Father was John ROBERTS and they were living at 9, St. Johns Place, Birkenhead. 1881 gives John's age as 49 and Margaret as 36. Their eldest child resident with them is William age 14. Given their ages, I guess it's possible that John had an earlier marriage. I have not been able to find a reference to John and Margaret's marriage nor identify their births.
