hi kiterunner, found a marriage for william saul and jane crane, liverpool 7 april 1811 on family search, could that be them

[bidston]

also found a birth, jane crane 21 april 1785, christening at st nicholas, liverpool, this church keeps popping up, 11th may 1785

[kiterunner]

Yes, that marriage looks likely, but we haven't yet proved for sure that Jane Saul, daughter of William and Jane, is your Jane, have we?

[bidston]

no, that's true, trying to find jane saul on the census prior to her marriage and the family some time after

[kiterunner]

She was already married by the time the 1841 census was taken, and as far as I know there are no pre-1841 censuses available for the Liverpool area?

[bidston]

what about directories, would they be of any use

[kiterunner]

A directory would only list the head of household.

[bidston]

blimey, bit stuck now

[kiterunner]

The other two children listed on the IGI as being baptised at St Nicholas, Liverpool, with parents William Saul and Jane are:
Thomas Saul born 23 Feb 1812 died 22 Sep 1812
Mary Rosanna Saul christened 28 Mar 1813.

There is a possible entry for Mary on the 1851 census at 9 Virginia Street, Liverpool:
Mary Stewart Head Wid 38 Lodging House Keeper Lancaster Lpool
Jane Saul Mother Widow 70 living with daur Isle of Man
William Miller Cousin U 29 Book Keeper Lancaster Lpool
plus two lodgers.

I haven't managed to find them in 1841 (yet) nor Mary's marriage.

I may be right off track here, but the only birth of a Henrietta in 1842 in Liverpool (Henryetta, actually!) has the surname Mc Gaughlin - another one ripe for mistranscription.

It isn't beyond the bounds of possibility that he married one Jane, she died, he married another Jane.
