Thank you Maureen for your quick response. The information you sent is just what I wanted. You do not need to send the image. My sight is so poor that even with my enlarger, hand-writing is usually too difficult for me to read. It looks as though the Derbyshire baptism is not the right Ellen. Thanks again.\, Regards, Nora -----Original Message----- From: Maureen Eden Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2012 7:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ENG-LIV] John Musker in 1861 and 1871 census Hi Nora John & Ellen are transcribed as Masker on the 1861 census - they are living at St Michaels Road, Toxteth Park, John is a gardener aged 30 born in Bootle & Ellen is 37, a former Cook, born in what I think is Birmingham, Warwickshire.

He was bapt. 21 Dec 1829 at St. Peter, son of Charles Musker and Sarah (Smith).In 1958 he married Ellen Moseley, at St. James Toxteth Park Liverpool . I found another marriage to Maria 1860 to Maria Barrett and thought it the right one as John’s daughter Mary was born in 1862 but discarded this when I was given part of the 1861 census where they are incorrectly shown as John Masters age 30 and Ellen Masters 37 I do not have the address at time of census , John’s occupation or Ellen’s birthplace . The only baptism I found for an Ellen Moseley was 6 Jun 1824 in Measham Derbyshire . I have a death for an Ellen Musker age 52 in 1879. The age does not agree with the census. In 1881 John married Emma Boulton a widow (Nee Briggs), and I have them in 1881 living at 147 High Park St. Toxteth Park with Mary age 19.
