Hi Gordon How great. A possible connection! This is probably my lot too...the Ann (from Hannah) in the census makes sense of my records as do the dates. If so, my gggrandfather is the 8 year old James in the 1851 census (who later married Ann O'Brien and their son John is my grandfather). Do you have any further information on Joseph and Hannah?...or their earlier family? Many thanks, Marilyn >>> [email protected] 18/10/2004 9:18:04 a.m. >>> Hi Marilyn I don't have any marriage records as such, but in my extended family tree I have the marriage in Liverpool St Martin on 17 September 1835 of a Joseph COVENTRY (b1802 Neston) and Hannah CROXTON (b1814 Little Meols). I have Joseph in the 1851 Census thus :- Aged 45 (actually 48), living in Wallasey with wife Ann (37) + children Eliza (13), James (8), William (5) and Mary Ann (2). Occupation - labourer.
