catherine loxton b Bristol 1886

[garstonite]

Hi...I have
William Henry Kennedy marrying Catherine Loxton in Liverpool in 1903..
the only suitable Catherine Loxton I can find born in England is born in Bristol 1886...looks like she was 16 when she married ..
can someone check I haven`t missed any other possible Catherine Loxton - I have to consider she may have been born in Ireland or Scotland because Liverpool was a very busy port at the time..
there is a Catherine Loxton in Bristol in the 1901 census aged 14 daughter of Head of House .- can`t see any other ...could someone see who her mum and dad are ...Catherines firstborn is named Agnes Kennedy....the Kennedy surname is Irish and I am wondering if both William and Catherine came over from Ireland
thanks
allan

What are Agnes's birth details?

Thank you all so much ...I am puzzled as to why no Catherine Loxton is shown born 1879 ? could it be she was born Catherine Stephens ? her mothers maiden name ?..let me backtrack ....I have another mysterious lady in this family , if it`s ok , I will post about her as well.
thanks again

The only Loxton born in Liverpool 1875 - 1880 is a Samuel Loxton in 1880
There is a Catherine Stephens b 1878 though ...is this her ?
allan

[Merry]

Tes, I would imagine so. Note she also has middle initial S in 1881, probably when they had just decided to call her by her father's name and so left her mother's surname in there too!

This may be her:

Births Sep 1878
Stephens Catherine W. Derby 8b 336

[garstonite]

Yes - thanks Merry ...I thought that as well ...looks like her ..will need the birth cert for her I think ...thanks again
allan

Well that`s a little lucky
Samuel and Catherine Loxton - 9 children - all at Our Lady Mount Carmel - baptisms
I am posting this link for anyone who wasn`t aware that 1837 -1900 Roman Catholic baptisms in Liverpool
some are on this site if your ancestors were baptised Roman Catholic

http://www.liverpoolhistoryprojects.co.uk/liverpoolrcbaptisms/baptisms.php
thank you all in such a short space I have Catherines baptism ( not baptised Stephens ) and all her siblings / parents and her mother in law ...what a site
allan
ADDED...Samuel Howard Loxton baptised 25th January 1857 - parents Samuel Loxton and Mary Ann -
1853 marriage
Samuel Loxton to Mary Ann Howard - Liverpool.....so the census where Samuel is with his mother stating May A Loxton , should have read Mary A Loxton ...thanks again to you all...incredible progress

[garstonite]

It appears that Mary Ann`s husband Samuel Loxton died in 1859 - no age shown ..will try to find him in 1851 census to find his birth year and place
