Thread: Solicitors

Hello list,

Can anyone find any information about a Liverpool solicitor circa 1902 named John Angior or possibly Angior-Guest?

Thankyou

Keith

Could you say what information you are looking for? Is 1902 the date of his birth?

Gillian

Hi Gillian,

I'm afraid I don't know John Huxley Angior-Guest's age but in 1902 his son, a copy of whose marriage certificate I have, was age 41 years. John's occupation is recorded as solicitor, living at 2 Nevin Street, Liverpool. Nevin Street doesn't seem to exist any longer, but another person has found it was a small road sited at the junction of Everton Rd, W.Derby Rd and Brunswick Rd.

My g.aunt Jane Wynne married John's son Arthur and being curious about the Angior-Guest family I've searched high and low to find them on any census, but apart from finding Arthur and his mother in 1861 they seem to have vanished.

Since g.aunt Jane, on the wedding certificate decribed her father as a manager rather than the coal miner he actually was, I wondered if "solicitor" was also stretching things a bit.



Thankyou for your interest,

Regards

Keith

Hi Keith

Marriage 3/1856 John Huxley Angior to Maria Guest Gt Boughton 855 (from FreeBMD)

Gillian

Sorry! Thought I had found him on a census but the wrong family.

Gillian

Thanks for trying Gillian, I'm surprised that a solicitor, if that's what he was, could seem to have avoided every census from 1861.

Hello again -

In 1871 Arthur is (I think) in Chester with his grandmother as in 1861 -

Charlott Guest 72 widow owner of property b Wales Flintshire Hawarden

Arthur Guest 11 grandson b Cheshire Hoole

Sarah Evans 15 servant

May need to look for some deaths?

PS - beaten to it!!

Thanks Gillian, you're doing a great job. I'm away for a week or so, but will chase up the deaths as you suggest.

And thanks Slizzy. what you've found looks very hopeful. Something else to research later this month.

Ps Gillain's second message has just come through after I had written the above. Now need a little time to try to sort it out

Thanks to you both
