Hi David, There is a Mary Fletcher Lewis who is on the 1881 census as a widow living in Poulton cum Seacombe, who gives her birth as 1847 Runcorn. She is living in Everton in 1871 and has three children, Harry, Sarah Mabel and Mary V. in 1911 she is living with daughter Sarah in Northamptonshire. This could be your Mary However I cannot trace any marriage of a Mary F Clarke to a Lewis.

As she was only in Runcorn for a very short period from birth she may have believed that she had been born in Liverpool where she grew up. She was the daughter of Peter Clarke and Sarah Eccles. She is the only one of my CLARKE ancestors of her generation that I cannot trace. The last record I have of her was when she was witness to her brother's wedding in Liverpool in 1864. I can find no record of her marriage or death anywhere in England/Wales. Does anyone know of Mary?

Thanks Julie. It must be her. I can't image any other girls with the name Mary Fletcher being born in Runcorn in 1847. I think that when you say you see a Mary F Lewis in Poulton cum Seacombe in 1881 you mean 1901. In the 1901 I see Mary Fletcher Lewis, age 53, widow, living at 10 Dundee Grove, Poulton cum Seacombe. She appears to be living in her sons house. He is Harry Lewis, age 29, ship's chief officer. I see Mary F Lewis and children Harry, Mabel and Mary but not Sarah at 7 Garden Lane Everton in 1881. I have also now found her in the 1911 at Peterborough. Will now look in the 1871 and 1891. I have been trying to find her for years. This busy for a while! Thanks again David -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Julie Smith Sent: 18 June 2012 20:08 To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [ENG-LIV] Mary Fletcher CLARKE Hi David, There is a Mary Fletcher Lewis who is on the 1881 census as a widow living in Poulton cum Seacombe, who gives her birth as 1847 Runcorn.
