If there is a Nelson connection, then there is this entry for 1911:

Name: Isabella Wilkinson
Age in 1911: 50
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1861
Relation to Head: Head
Gender: Female
Birth Place: Liverpool, Lancashire, England
Civil parish: Liverpool
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England
Street Address: 38 Thurlow St Liverpool <<<<<<<
Marital Status: Widowed
Registration district: Liverpool
Registration District Number: 453
Sub-registration district: Exchange
ED, institution, or vessel: 13
Piece: 22161
Household Members:
Name Age
Isabella Wilkinson 50
William Rowell 36 <<<<<

and perhaps the marriage would be this one:
31 Mar 1872 Liverpool St Nicholas
Hugh Wilkinson to Isabella Eveline Gresswell Nelson
- Isabella's father is recorded as Francis Nelson and she is still a minor (although she still needs to lose about 10 years in age by 1911)

Actually, it was the Isabella name that caught my attention.

Looking at the Rowell baptisms in Liverpool, I see that the Isabella (one of the ten children born to Joseph and Mary between 1890 and 1905) was baptised Isabella Eveline.

[EDIT: in 1901, the Thurlow Street residents included widower Joseph Rowell age 58 and his son William James age 24, as a separate household, but sharing number 36 with William Williams and his family; and next door to Isabella Wilkinson at number 38, widow aged 47]

- and here (in 1861) is another Thurlow Street/Isabella/Lindon/Nelson set of data:

Name: Isabella Nelson
Age: 14
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1847
Relation: Daughter
Mother's name: Jane Nelson
Gender: Female
Where born: Lpool, Lancashire, England

Civil parish: Liverpool
Ecclesiastical parish: St Anne
Town: Liverpool
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England

Registration district: Liverpool
Sub-registration district: Islington
ED, institution, or vessel: 24

Household schedule number: 177
Piece: 2693
Folio: 111
Page Number: 37
Household Members:
Name Age
Jane Nelson 29
Isabella Nelson 14
John F Nelson 2
Mary Lindon 80
Nathan Holman 32
Mary Holman 33
Nathan Holman 9
Richard Holman 2

- but although the image says 14, I think Isabella would need to be a little younger than this is she is still to be a minor on marriage in 1872.

This thread had not been touched for nearly two years?? Is Aprilshower still on the boards?

You're right Jax. Can't believe I was caught out by that. It was on the first page of the boards though, maybe someone added and deleted something before my post. :-S

Think you maybe right....could not understand why you would have brought this thread back on the boards

Very nice of them to delete and let you carry on though was'nt it :-(

Thanks for spotting that jax.

I was thinking of having a look this weekend to see if I could find anything for Jane (the original query) on the basis that the surname could be misspelt, since McAv... could very well sound like McGav...
