Wow
Do you know how many survived?

All the above children survived into adulthood and married. Further proof of the family connections is Samuel Williams married Ruth Cain, September 19th, 1886, Liverpool. Witnesses at that marriage were, William Walsh and Annie Walsh.

Annie snr grandparents were Roger Williams/Jane Phillips, married, 3 May 1824, Bebington, Cheshire.

How far does this go back!
I'm astounded.
Love it all.
Have you Roger and Jane's birth details?

When do records cease or begin?

It's almost 200 years of family

Looking g on family search.

Can't find the death dates of the 10 children of Rodger and Jane nor the children of Rodger and Isabella apart from Annie senior.

We have been in direct contact with Birkenhead Library re Ann's resting place.

Do you know anything about the St Mary's graves being moved from their original resting place to Landican in the late 1950s

Of the children of Roger and Jane and Roger and Isabella, you will first have to research if they married. If they did, they would have died and been buried under their married name.

The bodies were moved to Landican so the shipyard could build a Dry Dock around 1957. I've visited their resting place at Landican and it wasn't in good shape at that time, overgrown, etc.
