what does 1881 census say? where and when did she herself marry? is this hers? Name: Zipporah Williamson Year of Registration: 1891 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep DISTRICT: Ashton Under Lyne County: Cheshire, Lancashire Volume: 8d Page: 789 Robert walker or Thomas Kay or 3rd groom not listed

yes scarlet....she married robert walker,and they were my dads grandparents....they moved to garston,liverpool after they married..obviously,before he died ,my dad gave me info on them.evidently zipporah was a bit of a character down garston docks selling fresh prawns as a living,so everyone knew her....i think the unusual name helped as well...so many people remember her....regards...allan...

her fathers name will be on her marriage cert. sibling names?

Penny Report 7 May 2007 10:07

garsonite, isnt that another reason to get her marriage cert? the marraige you know to be yours ? Not only will it give her age, its will tell her fathers name. Zipporah is unusual I'll grant you - maybe a family name , increases the likely hood of here being more than one In my opinion. her name isnt unique! another marriage Zipporah Williamson 1891 Jul-Aug-Sep Ashton Under Lyne Cheshire, Lancashire Zipporah Williamson 1911 Apr-May-Jun Liverpool (1837-1924) 1891 census is this one yours or is it the other one? Zipporah Williamson abt 1873>> Mottram, Derbyshire<<, England Servant Colne Lancashire

Hi, just found Zipporah Williamson death registration 1868 in Hayfield (covers parts of Cheshire and parts of Derbyshire), born approx 1868 - i.e. neither of the above people, but adds support to the comment that it may be a family name.

Just for interest then 1891 Name: Zipporah Williamson Age: 18 Estimated birth year: abt 1873 Relation: Servant Gender: Female Where born: Mottram, Derbyshire, England Civil parish: Colne Ecclesiastical parish: St Bartholomew Town: Colne County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Registration district: Burnley Sub-registration district: Colne ED, institution, or vessel: 34 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Fred Coar 27 Hale Coar 27 Lilian Coar 1 Eley Hott 18 Rebecca Peate 31 Zipporah Williamson 18 (15 on image) Source Citation: Class: RG12; Piece: 3380; Folio 127; Page 1; GSU roll: 6098490. and 1881 Name: Zepporah Williamson Age: 5 Estimated birth year: abt 1876 Relation: Granddaughter Gender: Female Where born: Mottram, Cheshire, England Civil parish: Glossop Dale County/Island: Derbyshire Country: England Street address: 7 Greenfield St Education: Employment status: View image Occupation: Scholar Registration district: Hayfield Sub-registration district: Glossop ED, institution, or vessel: 15 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age James Stevenson 18 Arthur Williamson 17 Charlotte Williamson 28 James Williamson 50 Jas.

So she seems to have been born in Mottram but I can't find her on Cheshire BMD which is where she should be. However Glossop came in the Hayfield district.
