Mary Elizabeth Tisdale/Teasdale

By Keltis |

Mary nee Fearon lived in Liverpool from birth in 1846 but I cannot find any reference to her death although I know it was between 1891 and 1901. Any information would be great. Thank you. Keltis

Can you give us some more information, such as the 1891 census details, and where she was baptised - ie CofE or RC?

I think it's possible a mistake has been made, the below marriage has Margaret Elizabeth Tisdale with a father James Fearon, Mariner.

I can't find a previous marriage for Margaret Elizabeth Fearon to a Tisdale or variations of the name, I'm thinking this is Mary Elizabeth Tisdale/Fearon.

Great work as ever Bert. That leads to the death of a Margaret Ellis in Dec 1895 aged 50, giving a DOB of 1844. Another possibility?

John,

I think the name Margaret was a mistake and she never carried the name forward, hence her appearing on the 1901 census as Mary E Ellis. posted above.

Workhouse death, can anyone look, if the Workhouse  records have been transcribed elsewhere.

Send me a message, tell me where you found this Bert, I haven't been able to. 

Thanks, but there's nothing in the Workhouse Registers relating to that date.  I'm going to have to check quite a long list of entries with the same name all in Liverpool, which I don't have time to do this evening, but will trawl down them tomorrow.  Problem is we aren't going to be too sure what address she's entered from, I wonder if the 16 year old Jane Tisdale might be someone worth searching for, in case they both went in together?  Have to leave it with me and I'll get back to you asap.

Thanks Mary,

Hoping for an address and go from there.

Thanks to everyone for your work.

MaryA - please hold off doing all that scrolling tomorrow until I assimilate all replies. Mary Elizabeth Tisdale lived in Duckinfield Street in 1891 when her husband John was admitted as a patient but died in there.

John  - Mary was still alive in 1891. Mary Ellis was a lodger with Dorricott family

Bert - thanks but I can't read certificate as it's blared. I'm not looking for any Margarets, I'm looking for Mary Elizabeth Tisdale won was born Fearon.

I appreciate all of your work, thank you.

Keltis,

 

If you click on the marriage certificate image, it will expand and better to view.

 

I know exactly who you are looking for and I will try to offer a more detailed explanation.

The marriage between James Henry Ellis and Margaret Elizabeth Tisdale, the brides name has been entered incorrectly.

I suspect by mistake rather than given deliberately.

It should read Mary Elizabeth Tisdale, her father given as James Fearon, Mariner, makes her, nee Fearon.

 

Further proof, there was never a marriage between a Margaret Elizabeth Fearon and a Tisdale or variations of the name, therefore, Margaret Elizabeth Fearon/Tisdale never existed.

 

The 1901 census has Mary E Ellis living with the Dorricott family and Jane Tisdale.

Elizabeth Dorricott. nee Tisdale, Father, John Tisdale, Butcher, is the daughter.

Jane Tisdale later married William Rowland, 1912 Liverpool, Father, John Tisdale, Butcher, is the daughter.

 

Mary E Ellis, nee Fearon, formally Tisdale living with 2 daughters, 1901.

 

There was a Mary Ellis died 1907, born 1845, died in the Workhouse, it may have been in the infirmary.

When Mary checks, hopefully we will find out who she is.

 

The above is the very reason you can't find a death for a Mary Elizabeth Tisdale, the name ceased to exist after she married James Henry Ellis.

Looking at years post 1901 and then worked forward with birth date 1845 +-/ 2 years and place Liverpool, also place West Derby, the only adult was admitted in February 1901 and died later the same month.  Other Mary Ellises were children and admitted with siblings, also died.

Also thought I'd try Margaret in case she used to switch between names, but the only one was born there.

I'm baffled, no death for 1907.

 

Got it!!!

Sorry unless you can connect Rose Place there would be no definitive answer.

Thanks Mary.

1907

Joseph Ellis, 59 Rose Place.

Mary Ellis, 59 Rose Place,(Ground Floor Front)

The above is likely to be husband and wife or son and mother, been at Rose Pl from at least the 81 census.

As for James Henry Ellis, his first wife was Alice Laithwood, lived in Duckinfield Street with family, 1891 census.

Alice died, December Qtr, 1891, buried at Walton, Duckinfield St.

OK something I forgot to check up on

Looked on GRO website, the little one would be John Tisdale Rowland  1910  D Quarter in WEST DERBY  Volume 08B  Page 498

Well done Mary,

Lived together before they married, looks like someone liked to change her name.

Workhouse record nails it for me.

Despite her claim of 57 years old in 1911, I think this death is nearer the mark.

Deaths Dec 1912   (>99%)

I think you need to check Anfield or West Derby for the 1912 one.

or possibly

Deaths Jun 1915   (>99%)
Ellis  Mary E  69  W.Derby  8b 385

This second one is buried in Walton, address 22 Gondover Avenue, Walton on 16th August Grave No 33AD which I believe is a private grave.

You can check familysearch.org for West Derby Burial Register for 1912, for December quarter work backwards from Page 655, I'll leave that to you since it's very popular and you can search the quarter at your leisure.  https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/405467?availability=Family%…

Sorry the Anfield ones aren't online.  If you find you can't access the familysearch.org film for West Derby then you aren't logged in, and if you don't have an account with them, then you need to get one, it's free.

Bertione and MaryA,

I can't say thank you enough at the length of time and detail you have gone into. My wife can now understand the intricacies of her tree as quite a lot of what you've provided rings a bell. I'm going to write/print it all out for her to look at and I'm sure that will take her a while!  I suspect that I'll be seconded as her scribe but with my skill she'll be unlucky.

Because I don't log in every day, (I sometimes log in only to be told Access denied.)I  am often late in my thanks, please don't be offended.

keltis

I hope you aren't being denied access now we are using this new forum.  Please let me know if so since we have spent a lot of time putting this in place to resolve that matter.
