Blowed if I can make that out Maureen - first letter looks similar to the I in Ireland a few lines above it.

Doubt if they're the children of this William and Janet......as rootgatherer pointed out-Janet was a little old and besides they were in England in 1871.


Can anyone make out the supposed birthplace of Janet in 1871 please?

I haven't got around to purchasing the marriage certificate, budget wont allow at the moment and I want to make double sure its the same William Bisset. Elizabeth Bisset was born 1866, James 1869 and Bethia 1871 all Bridgeton

I did trace the 2 deaths in infancy for Bethia and James Bisset, but no sign of Elizabeth, yet she wasn't with her parents in 1871 Liverpool.

If Janet was 50 in 1871 and they married in 1867 When and where were the 3 children born please?

What names are given for Janet's parents on the marriage registration please?

Strange - The only marriage I am seeing is the 1865 one in Bridgeton.......... not seeing one in 1867.

Hi Reggie, traced the marriage in Bridgeton in 1867 not 65... Looks like they had 3 children James Elizabeth and Bethia, but they're not with them in 1871...Died perhaps, I did see that Bethia and James have died in infancy, but no death for Elizabeth. I did see an Elizabeth in 1871 with William and Janet, but not sure these are the right parents as William has a different occupation and this Janet is only a couple years older and not 10...

Hi Maureen, I have found the 1881 census, but have been trying to locate him on the 1871 to try and find out who he married and if there are any children .. Cant seem to find him in 1891 although I see the family he boarded with.
