Mary, nee Liddle (married) is with her parents in 1891, as posted by alviegal

The 1891 Census is definitely my family and this made me search for John S.Welsh after seeing the 1887 marriage record.

There were 2 Mary Liddle's born in Auckland in 1864
One in 1st Q and one in 2nd Q
Do you know which one is yours

hi
do you have the marriage cert ?

If the 1891 census, posted by alviegal, showing Mary with parents Robert and Mary, is definitely the correct one, then this is Mary's birth:

LIDDLE, MARY mms MINIKIN
GRO Reference: 1864 M Quarter in AUCKLAND Volume 10A Page 153

(No middle name at birth.)


Siblings from 1891 census:

LIDDLE, THOMAS ROBERT mms MINIKIN
GRO Reference: 1868 D Quarter in AUCKLAND Volume 10A Page 161

LIDDLE, GEORGE WILLIAM mms MINIKIN
GRO Reference: 1875 S Quarter in AUCKLAND Volume 10A Page 282


Parents' marriage:

Marriages Dec 1863 (>99%)
Liddle Robert Auckland 10a 274
Minikin Mary Auckland 10a 274


The younger children appear to have a different mother, also called Mary :

LIDDLE, ISABEL JANE -

Burial of Mary, wife of Robert (there's a photo of her gravestone, citing husband Robert of Sunnyside):

Mary Liddle
in the UK and Ireland, Find A Grave Index, 1300s-Current
Name: Mary Liddle
Birth Date: 1843
Birth Place: Brandon, Durham Unitary Authority, County Durham, England
Death Date: 9 Aug 1908
Death Place: Durham Unitary Authority, County Durham, England
Cemetery: St. Thomas Churchyard
Burial or Cremation Place: Crook, Durham Unitary Authority, County Durham, England


I don't see the likely death of an earlier Mary (wife of Robert) in the period 1875-1883.
Both Marys were born 1843 in Durham RD.

I wonder if there was only one Mary, and if John and Isabella are in fact grandchildren, but listed as children in censuses.

Have you found Mary Welsh nee Liddle after 1891?


If not -
I'm wondering about this couple, on the random assumption that John Stephenson Welsh had scarpered soon after marriage, and Mary had reverted to her maiden surname:
