Hi...1st time i`ve done this....
My dads nan...

married Robert Walker b 1864 in c1893
one member on FTF has the same family and states that Charlotte Williamson b 1852 Glossop is Zipporahs mum....don`t know the father...
in the 1881 census Zipporah is in her grandfather s house and it states she`s grandaughter...there`s quite a few in the household including Charlotte with a sister named Zipporah b 1867......I HAVE NEVER FOUND ZIPPORAHS DEATH and I`m thinking she may have died here in Garston......allan

Is their dau Martha your ancestor? I can see her in 1911 but not either of her parents. Have tried Robert with all his different places of birth (!) and also with his occs of hairdresser and barber, but can't find him. Do you know when he died, or is it possible they emigrated? I can't find her death via Ancestry's supposedly fully transcribed records, nor a re-marriage.

This birth is the next district along from the one she should have been registered in if born in Mottram (I think!) - have you investigated this birth?

Yes, that's her, I'm sure. This is her spelling on the 1911 census (she may not have been quite re-married at this point as the census was taken right at the start of April, so she would have only had a day or two to tie the knot in Q2 1911!!). Denis is with her for this census.

MCNAMARA LIPPORAH F 1876 35 West Derby Lancashire

And guess where 'Lipporah' was born?!! Mottram!! lol

Her first marriage is listed on Cheshire BMD, 1891 at St John, Godley, and the 1911 one is on Lancashire BMD at Our Lady & St. Nicholas & St. Anne, Liverpool.

The 1911 census consists of:

Denis McNamara aged 38 b Woolton, Lancashire
Zipporah McNamara aged 35 b Mottram, Cheshire
Denis McNamara aged 4
Veronica McNamara aged 1

I can't work out what place of birth is recorded for the children (and don't know who their mother is, of course!) but they were both registered in West Derby district.

Denis senr is on the 1881 census with his parents, but can't see him easily after that except in 1911. He doesn't seem to have ever died -perhaps his job was connected to the sea and that's why he doesn't show up in 1891 and 1901 and the sea might have claimed him in the end?

Denis senr has almost 30 pages of WW1 army papers availaible to view on Ancestry, so I'm just looking to see if they say anything esp interesting.
