Who is Janet?

I think your only avenue is electoral registers for the future and get that Lilian Buck birth cert and then the Bridlington marriage cert to see father so at least you'll know if you're chasing the right Lilian! - are you expecting it to be Richard because looking at the numbers Lilian Buck born/registered June qtr 1893 Richard died Sep 1892 it's just 9 months pretty much!!! It's close its possible but its close

My great grandfather was born Feb 1849 his father died Dec 1848 so okay. That timeframe is well close.

The trouble is, if the child was registered in Q2 1892 then Janet is probably going to have said the father was Richard whoever the biological father was! lol Don't forget the child could have been born as early as late Feb 1892 and still beeen registered in Q2, so that makes it sound less impossible for Lilian to have been Richard's! Maybe his cause of death might throw some light - was he up to the job????!!!!

I'll probably have to let it go, unless I can find anyone actively researching who is descended from a closer bit of this family and who is willing to fork out, or knows what's what about Lilian. Having spent a few mega-fortunes this summer hols (not on FH unfortunately) I can't go spending another £9 or £18 or £27 on such a distant twig! If Lilian is Richard's daughter then she would be my 4th cousin twice removed!

ahhh see when my curiosity becomes ignited money is no object to me to satisfy it

So........are you going to pay? pmsl!!

You know I just might

Oh by the way didn't you say Lillian was born 1893 back there not 1892! I haven't looked at the registration I was just looking at your post.

So was it 1892 or 1893?

Just adding latest info to this thread in case anyone should ever google and come across it.

Thanks to new databases on Ancestry I now have further info re Richard D Buck.

He married Janet Goodsir, dau of Thomas Henry Goodsir at Rushen on the Isle of Man on 2nd August 1892 (Isle of Man, Marriage Index, 1606-1984)

Richard died 11th Sept 1892, so they were only married a few weeks.

Their dau, Lilian Buck was born 18th May 1893 and baptised 10th June 1893 at St James, West Derby (Liverpool, England, Baptisms, 1813-1906)

I think Lilian married William F Higgins in 1934 in West Derby District. There's a death for a Lilian Higgins in St Asaph Denbighshire in 1974 with the correct date of birth. Looks like just one child for William and Lilian Higgins which seems right given Lilian's age at marriage.

I can't work out which William F Higgins is her husband though.
