Thread: warrington street search

hi, i have an 1841 census with a street called "gosley shull" on it i think it is a miss print as i cannot find it anywhere, does anyone know what this could be- it is in warrington and all i know its by a mill or factory that does weaving. any help appreciated. thank you.

Hi there Kimberlynn



Who are we looking for on the census and what Source numbers are there, as I'd like to make my own interpretation of it

well i only have the marriage from the web of john sephton/sefton and sarah leadbeater as both living there (gosley shull) warrington. at the time of the marriage they were wed at the registry office in warrington, it was johns second marriage he was a widow they wed in oct 1841 he was widowed in feb 1841 he then lived in dallam lane warrington. he was a coach painter and sarah was a servant, and her father a weaver. hope this helps. regards k

Hi there Kimberlynn



If this 1841 entry is correct, the street name is Crossley Street, which is still there. Nearly all local residents work in the mill in some respect or other.



I think this is Sarah in 1841, but as you haven't given me the Source Citation [which is found at the bottom of the Census Record and not the Image] I am unable to find John, or the baby John who appears in 1851 as 12 years old.

1851 England Census for 22 Forge Street, Monks Coppenhall, Crewe

Name: Sarah Sephton

Age: 28

Estimated Birth Year: abt 1823

Household Members:

Name Age

John Sephton 32 Head Coach Painter b Liverpool

John Sephton 12 b Liverpool

Ann Sephton 9 b Warrington

Edward Sephton 6 b Newton in the Willow

Elizabeth Sephton 4 b Newton in the Willow

Thomas Sephton 6 Mo b Newton in the Willow

This I believe is the birth of baby John.



Was the name of John's first wife Elizabeth??

thank you so much, now i have the street! i have both the census,s you gave me, but thanks anyway, its john i am stuck on, where he was at that time from losing elizabeth in feb 1841 (her maiden name was brown) to marrying sarah in oct 1841! i have eliz death and another baby (henry) i have never in 3yrs been able to find the marriage to elizabeth, i only know john edward was born on trowbridge street liverpool in 1838 i have john edwards birth cert thank you, it does not tell you much only eliz maiden name and john was a painter.but if you can get anything at all i would be very gratefull. i had the marriage to sarah off b.m.d. share .com so theres no citation, i have never found a census for 1841 for john, regards k.

Did Elizabeth die in Liverpool or Warrington

warrington, 2nd feb 1841, st elphins. age 27.

Right then



This would point to the two Johns being somewhere in Warrington on 6 June 1841 at the time of the Census.



A long shot...................

I have a hunch that Henry and Mary may be bro and sis, as I am unable to find this family in 1851. Henry Snr is their father and John may be John Edward.



Wonder if John Snr had a bro Henry??



Or.......................... another family and another long shot

This John has no occupation allocated to him, but would likely work on the farm, unless he's just staying there.

hi, well there is no henry senior in my lot (the one age 75) but--johns son died in 1840 and his name was henry, but i have never found a henry! oh dear this is getting complicated! i am wondering who mary at the farm was wed to? i suppose she was a widow, i shall have to look for her husband perhaps that will ring a bell. thank you!
