Hi Gordon, Thank you very much indeed for your additional help, especially with Elizabeth Swift in the 1871 census, daughter of Pemberton and Martha Swift. I couldn't find them, well done Sherlock!! So that precludes her from being the baby buried in Holy Trinity, Hoylake in 1864. So now I must think that she may be another daughter for Alice Swift (nee Hughes), not registered at birth, but buried aged 11 months, too long after her husband's death to be his. Oh, Alice!!

The Elizabeth SWIFT buried in Hoylake Holy Trinity in 1864 isn't a daughter of the Parkgate butcher, since in the 1871 Census :- RG10/3739 folio 106 page 13 (indexed by Ancestry as SINIFT) Parkgate, Cheshire Pemberton SWIFT, 63, butcher, CHS Parkgate Martha, wife, 51, CHS Parkgate Henry, son, U, 24, butcher, CHS Parkgate Ann, daur, U, 19, CHS Parkgate Pemberton, son, 18, butcher, CHS Parkgate Mary, daur, 17, CHS Parkgate Thomas, son, 14, CHS Parkgate Charles, son, 12, CHS Parkgate Elizabeth, daur, 7, CHS Parkgate Regards Gordon
