Wedding or a funeral? Census was 3 April. There is the death of a Margaret Rimmer Williams in Wrexham, a dozen miles from Llangollen, registered in Jan-Feb-Mar 1881. One of yours?

Thanks for that, Janet, but I don't think there is a connection.

Hmm, here's a turn-up for the books! Now FMP has put the Southport area PR's online, I've had a look at the marriage record, 24 Sep 1856 at Christ Church, Southport, James Rimmer, 21, bachelor, and Ann Marshall, 20, spinster, both of Birkdale. Witnesses Miles Blundell and Ann Rimmer. His father is down as James Rimmer, farmer, which fits my tree, but hers is Richard Marshall, shoe maker. I had her father down as John Marshall, farmer!

May have to make some serious adjustments to my tree...!

This is the 1861 census entry for John Marshall, who I thought was my Ann's father, with grandson John Rimmer, age 3, born Birkdale.
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...&usePUBJs=true

My James and Ann have son John Rimmer age 13, born Birkdale, with them on the 1871 census and he is not with them in 1861.

John Marshall's will named three of his children (not including Ann) as executors but then just said everything should be shared between all his children without naming the rest of them.

I haven't managed to find a Richard Marshall, shoe maker, yet. Will have to return to this tomorrow!

I'm placing a bet on you eventually having to prove there's a mistake on the marriage record rather than having the wrong family.

Interesting that Ann is recorded as a minor at the marriage. I wonder who gave their consent?


What is the name of Ann's supposed paternal grandfather?

I see it's Joseph (from ToGG).

I had been wondering if Ann's father had given details because he was there to give consent and had somehow given his own father's details! I'm sure you would have thought of that in any case.


I couldn't see how John (the grandson in 1861) could be anyone other than the child of James and Ann. It seemed unlikely the relationship was incorrect as there doesn't seem to have been any Richard Marshalls anywhere in the area at the right time. I did find one other shoemaker, but his name was Joseph Marshall. He looks like he is the elder brother of Ann, dau of John and Jane (b abt 1825 according to the 1851 census). So, there is that occ in the family!
