    1. [SCOTS~GEN] 1891 lookup, please?
    2. Reg Nicholson
    3. If anybody has access to the 1891 census, I would be enormously appreciative if they would keep their eyes open for the details of my grandparents in Liverpool: John DALTON, born approx. 1866 (I am unsure whether his middle name was Edward or Blackhurst) Mary DALTON, born approx. 1870 (her middle name may have been either Alice or Ann). There is a possibility of a baby named Beatrice. I wish I knew their address! I am trying to track them down in the hope of eventually obtaining their marriage certificate which would tell me the details of their parents and their proper middle names (I feel fairly confident that the maiden name of Mary Dalton, who may have been born in Scotland, was HARVEY). Two odd things about John DALTON: 1) The cemetery where he is buried lists his name as being John Blackhurst Dalton. He would have been born about 1866. But the only John Blackhurst Dalton I have been able to trace was born in 1859. Could this possibly be the same person? 2) His 95-year-old daughter-in-law tells me she has never heard of the name Blackhurst. She tells me her father-in-law's full name was John Edward Dalton! Maybe I should apply for a death certificate, to see if it would clear up the mystery? If anyone could help, I would be very grateful. Reg in sunny New Zealand [email protected]
