    Default 1881England census lookup

    I am trying to find Esther Walker (also called Crosby or Phillips) born 1852 in Manchester. She should have a daughter, Elizabeth b1879 in Liverpool. Esther was living in Falkland Street, Liverpool in 1879 when Elizabeth was born and in 23 Tegid Street, Liverpool in 1882 when her next child was born (that address appears to be uninhabited in the 1881 census) but I cannot find her or Elizabeth anywhere in1881. Ekizabeth and Esther reappear in 1891.

    Hi,
    Was Elizabeth registered as Crosbie or Walker?
    Cannot find the right Elizabeth as Elizabeth Walker in 1881. Cannot find Esther either!
    (Esther daughter, of Henry and Esther, at home aged 18 on 1871.)
    Have you her marriage?

    Default Esther details

    1871 she was living at home in Manchester under the name Esther Walker:
    Father Henry aged 53, Mother Esther aged 51, brother James 15, nephew John Coates 3.
    1891 she was in Liverpool under the name Esther Crosbie aged 41 with Elizabeth (12), William (9), Charles (2), Ellen (1).

    There is no evidence that she ever married. If she married at all, it was to Charles Crosby in 1878 but he never appears in a census. Her first son (my GGF) was born in the Liverpool Workhouse under the name Henry Walker (no father) in 1878. Elizabeth was born in 1979 with Esther and Charles Walker listed as the parents. Polly was born in 1882 to Hester Walker (no father) William was born in 1883 to Esther and Charles Crosby Walker was born in 1888 to Esther Walker formerly Phillips (her mothers maiden name), finally Ellen in 1890 and Joseph in 1891, father Charles Crosby mother Esther Crosby formerly Walker.

    The family used the name Crosby from 1891 at least, Elizabeth married under that name and they all died under that name.

    The only other info I can give is that she gave up her first child (my Ggf) to another family (perhaps a relative of Charles Crosby). this was Thomas Ford.
