Is there a kind person who has access to these please? I have found a listing in both for a Robert Price born 1839 in Liverpool and shown as a mariner. Any further information would be much appreciated as I think this is possibly my great grandfather.
Thank you

Possible?

I thought Robert Rotheram might be father-in-law on 1871 census but seems Catherine was Abraham.

No, I guess Robert Rotheram was his stepfather:

Thank you Margee. I think this is it. I have also found Rotherham in my research with Robert's mother shown as Alice Rothram and her father has been shown as a Robert Rotherham.

Hi
To my knowledge Alice married twice - Samuel Price in 1836 and then Robert Rotherham in 1853

Actually it might have just got better! I knew I had Boaler somewhere in my family. My father's relatives had a butcher's shop in St John's Market in Liverpool certainly in the 1960s but I never knew just where they fitted.

There is a tree on Ancestry that says that Robert Price's parents were Robert Rotheram & Alice Price. I think that's wrong and Robert Rotheram was his stepfather and Samuel Price was his father.

You're amazing!
Samuel was definitely Robert's father as I have Robert and Catherine's marriage certificate

I was wondering where you saw the name Boaler, Cassie, and I see it's from that marriage record that I posted. Actually that name has nothing to do with your tree, it was just the name of the other couple that married, i.e. John Dalton & Jane Grey Boaler.

Your couple's marriage:

Marriage: 11 Nov 1863 St Mary, Walton on the Hill, Lancashire, England
Robert Price - of full age, Mariner, Bachelor, Kirkdale
Catherine Abraham - of full age, Spinster, Kirkdale
Groom's Father: Samuel Price, deceased, Sawyer
Bride's Father: Richard Abraham, deceased, Labourer
Witness: Richard Abraham; Mary Abraham
Married by Banns by: Thomas Hornby Vicar
Register: Marriages 1863 - 1866, Page 33, Entry 65

Edit: Oops! Sorry, just saw that you have the marriage certificate.

Curious that Alice's maiden name was Rothram and she ended up marrying a Rotheram. A cousin, maybe?

Marriage: 25 Apr 1836 St Nicholas, Liverpool, Lancashire, England
Samuel Price - (X), Sawyer, Liverpool
Alice Rothram - (X), Spinster, Same Parish
Witness: John Bentham; Mary Goodyer, (X)
Married by Banns by: Thomas Halton Curate

I wonder if Samuel Price was previously married to a Mary? This son John matches the one on the 1841 census, accounting for the rounding down of the ages on that census.

Realised that Boaler was just another marriage but I've not really explored that bit of the family but it could give a starting point.

I don't really see how a marr that took place a couple of days later is a good starting point for anything.
I might as well research my family tree by starting from the woman who sat next to me on the bus yesterday - at least we were on the same bus at the same time; if only I knew her name.
