  • Olive Watkins b1907 Garston ?

    Hi good morning...I am concentrating on my wifes grandmother today..the info I have is only from my wifes memory so may not be right at all.
    We know Olive Watkins was born in April 1907...we know she was registered West Derby(Garstons area register office) I have been on freebmd and Olive Watkins 1907 is there ,but on Lancsbmd its not...the problem is on Lancs bmd it will also say Wavertree St Michaels if she was born in Garston..
    this is only from my wifes memory and the birth years are only approxiamate.these are the bros/sisters of Olive that my wife THINKS she had.
    Alice 1885
    margaret 1890
    Lillie 1893
    Annie 1894
    William 1899
    Thomas 1900
    Leonard 1905
    Olive 1907
    Jane 1908
    we think the parents were Thomas Watkins b 1863 Ludlow ???
    and May ???? 1866
    I have not done a lot of research on my wifes family..her father was from Rogatyn,Ukraine so it has been difficult....It seems a big task this ,so any help will be appreciated...cheers...allan;)

      1901 census RG13; Piece: 3507; Folio: 66; Page: 21

      household
      Thomas Watkins 38 occ. dock labourer
      May Watkins 35
      Alice Watkins 16
      Margaret Watkins 11
      Lillie Watkins 8
      Annie Watkins 7
      William Watkins 2 - born Garston Lancs
      Thomas Watkins 11 months - born Garston
      William Mee 22 (boarder)

      address 17 Saltworks Cottage, Garston.

      - I think this is probably the right familty. William and Thomas were born in Garston - the rest of the family born Ludlow Shropshire.

          thanks very much Elaine....Ann (my wife) was very close to her Nan Olive ..she lived with her for a while as a teenager... what do you think about May in 1901 census b abt 1866...and Mary Jane in 1911 census b abt 1867...do you think this is the same Woman ???...ie May being a nickname ???...if so I`ll go to freebmd and look for a marriage of Thomas Watkins to Mary jane ??...also...does it say that Thomas AND Mary Jane were born in Ludlow??
          for the record,Garston had a massive copper works and around 1900 they all went on strike...they lived in houses provided by the copper works...because they went on strike the owners had EVERY fanily removed from their houses and they brought in dozens of families from Ludlow as they knew about working copper...these were and still are known as the `Ludlow Scabs`of Garston...allan;);)
          ADDED..sorry Elaine..I`m a very slow typist...lol...thats great news ...must find out about Alice...cheers...allan

            From what I can tell from the 1911 census - doing searches without viewing transcriptions or images - Mary Jane states she was born in Ludlow c 1867.

            I have checked the image of the 1901 census and it looks like Mary to me so I think it was probably mistranscribed as May.

            1891 that I found is definitely Mary J

            ... so think it is the same wife all the way through.

                The best match for Thomas Watkins in 1881 is this one
                RG11; Piece: 2615; Folio: 94; Page: 3;

                Thomas Watkins c1844 Stoke, Hereford - occ gas stoker
                Elizabeth Watkins c1845 Holt, Worcestershire - dressmaker
                Thomas Watkins c1864 Ludlow, Shropshire - baker journeyman
                John Watkins c 1867 Ludlow, Shropshire - errand boy
                Henry Watkins c 1870 Ludlow, Shropshire

                address Old Gate Tree ? Ludlow

                When you get the MC for Thomas & Mary Jane you should be able to confirm whether or not this is the right family!

                      would it be possible to find this family in 1891 to see if there are any sisters/bros added to Thomas`s siblings please...cheers..allan

                        Allan, Elaine mentioned that Alice Watkins (b abt 1885) was missing from the 1891 census for the Watkins family. There is an Alice Husk aged 6 living with grandparents in 1891 b Ludlow Shropshire, so it looks as if Thomas may have married Mary J Husk, after Alice was born (though I can't see a marriage!!!)

                            Actually Alice Husk is living with her Great-Grandparents in 1891!!

                            When I looked at the 1871 I found Mary Jane Husk living with the same couple (John and Jane Husk) and they are her grandparents - not sure who her parents (or mum!) is as all the other adults in the house are unmarried! So maybe Mary Jane was either the child of a son of John and Jane who isn't at home or she was the illegitimate dau of one of John and Jane's daughters.

                            RG10; Piece: 2725; Folio: 103; Page: 24

                            Maybe the 1881 will tell me?

                              They should be somewhere in 1891 because I can see them in 1901

                              1901

                              Thomas Watkins 57
                              Elizabeth Watkins 56

                                Mary Jane is still with her grandparents in 1881 so I'm none the wiser!
