I have just started to work on Thomas Ivory, who appears in the 1881 census in Birkenhead (age 60, born Ireland, tailor). But so far I cannot find anything more. Nothing in the 70s and forward. So with him I am just looking for shortcuts. I have a full census record of Ann Waring born in Thurstaston in 1829 moved to Birkenhead by the early 1850s. and less complete data for some of her children. My interest now is in how she lived. It would seem very difficult for an unmarried woman with 6 children. This is a real puzzle for me. I don't know her death date. Johanna De Lonte (before the death of her husband Delahunty), Lantay in the 1901 census. I am interested in her parents (maiden name Kenney) who were born in Ireland. Where? I don't know her death date. Also where James Delahunty was born in Ireland - Waterford seems likely, Kilkenny seems possible. Finally Ann Warings father James and her grandfather James. Both from Heswall and perhaps Bebbington. Problem here is disentangling one from the other and from other James Warings. Fred Waring
