brilliant work...in 1 day I now have some information about all the Nimrod.s children except ;2nd child Charlotte bHelsby 1852; and 6th George b,birkenhead 1863 he may have died 1906 aged 43

1 Sarah + no 8 Richard died young
3. nimrod junior m. Mary 1871 had 4 children;james .albert,nimrod
4 sarah ann m.thomas mawdleychildren ;richard 1879 +Jane1881
5.caroline m john roberts ;children Mary +Charlotte
7.Mary m thomas Hale 1906 Children ????
9William m Eliza Reed 1891
10 james m emily thompson1896 son fred james b1987 James died same year
11jane m joseph jones in 1896 had joseph gardner jones
nimrod william james ,jane lived in Birkenhead around turn of century ; :-)

Richard Gardner 1867b died in July 1879 morpeth docks fishing for crabs

Livepool daily post ; would they still issue a death certificate if his body was never found ??

William+ Eliza had a son Albert F gardner aged 6 on 1911 census
George married Ruth they are together in 1891 he's a railway ??
in 1911 Ruth 's a widow in Bristol ,a cook
Caroline died in 1893of phthisis in claytonst

Their parents Nimrod +Mary reached their late 80's. how many more of their children they outlived

In a search for Nimrod senior b1827 I found a 1841 census page which I didn't understand

lt had his brothers George Gardner aged 15 , Edward Gardner aged 10, Thomas Burbidge aged 15,Susannah Burbidge aged 35 william Hall aged 15,Ann Hickman age 25

I couldn't see any way of telling how these people were related ,who was head of household or any professions ...any light to throw on this ?

Relationships to head of household weren't described in the 1841 census, and ages of over 15s were meant to be. were rounded down to the nearest 5 years

Looking at the image, occupations are as follows:

Member of household Occupation/Employment/or of independent means

Susanannah Burbidge Ind.

Thomas Burbidge -

Ann Hickman F. S.

Mary Boyson .F. S.

George Gardner M. S.

Edward Gardner M. S.

My best guess is that F.S and M.S are female servant and man servant respectively, and that they worked for Ann Burbidge who was of independent means and that Thomas Burbidge was probably her son.

thanks Kucinta ,that's a good deduction .

My mother + I would love to see some photos of this family to see if there are any family resemblences .margee says a member has 2 photos of james gardner on family tree but when i look up member photos all i can see is mostly "Gardner family " with no indication of names or dates so how would i know who to send a request to ?

I have a very distant connection to Nimrod Gardiner - probably too distant to be of interest but in case it's of use to know more about his daughter's husband's line please contact me. (My connection is that Thomas Mawdsley's mother, Margaret Smith, was my 3g-grandfather's youngest sibling. I have a copy of Margaret's father's will, in which he leaves property to her.)

If you have any information on the Smiths of Bury, e.g. Margaret's father, as listed below, please let me know.

hi mary . brigid's membership has lapsed for moment she's busy on Scottish sites ; she's my sis .sorry we don't have any information on your Smiths and don't go that far back . we were more interested in tracing descendents who may have photos of Nimrod gardiner + his children .
