I am hoping that someone can help me with a marriage that I can't find. The birth of William Frederick DRY was registered at West Derby in 1857. He was the son of John and Elizabeth Fredericka DRY. The 1891 census shows him living with his mother and 2 sisters at 2 Lenthall Street Walton. He is described as age 31 a mariner and single. The 1901 census shows him with wife, Alice Ann, and children the eldest of whom is age 19. I take it that this child was a daughter of Alice by a previous marriage. William died in 1909. I have assumed from this that William and Alice married sometime between 1891 and 1901 although it may be that there was no marriage. Does anyone know of a marriage or anything of this DRY family in Liverpool? David Railton

Hi David, If you look at the children on the 1901 census with William Frederick and Alice A -- then look at the 1891 census -- some of these same children are on the census with a William F Dry aged 33, birth year approx 1858) Railway Clerk, born Bootle and his wife Annie, aged 31, also born Bootle. Certainly the younger children at least are included in the Liverpool baptisms on Ancestry - with father's name as William F and mother's name as Annie. Are you sure that the one with his mother in 1891 is the correct William -- or might he have been leading a double life?! I can't see a marriage for him at the moment. However a birth cert could always be ordered for one of the children - to obtain Annie's maiden name.
