I am hoping someone may be able to help me trace the birth/baptism or parents of Rose or Rosanna McCartney who according to the 1851 & 1861 Census was born around 1802 in Liverpool. I first came across her as the wife of Charles Reynolds Richardson whom she married 15 Jan 1833 at St. Peter, Church Street, Liverpool. The marriage register shows she was a widow named Rosanna Whittingham. She had previously married Samuel Whittingham, a Cooper on 17 Dec 1827 at St Michael's, Liverpool. Her maiden name is recorded in this marriage as Rose McCartney, of this Parish, but I have not been able to trace any record of her before this marriage. Can anyone help please?
