  1. 1.  Josephine (Susan) Quinn was born in 1858 in Liverpool (daughter of Thomas Quinn and Jane Eliza); died on 2 Feb 1937 in Littledale Road, Wallasey.

    Notes:

    Josephine is in the 1861 census in Liverpool with her widowed mother Jane Eliza Quinn, and in 1871 as "grand-daughter" (?stepdaughter) of Jane Eliza's deceased subsequent husband (unknown) Palmer.
    Marriage records show that Josephine married Feles Natural in 1877, then (as Josephine Quin, spinster) Samuel Fairhurst in 1882. No record of Feles has been found other than the marriage, and in the 1881 census Samuel Fairhurst is recorded with a wife Susan, 22, b Liverpool: this must be Josephine, who appears as Susan in all subsequent censuses, but Josephine in her Memorial Inscription and "Josephine otherwise Susan" in her probate record. It is possible that her first husband died, but why then would she not have been recorded as a widow in her second marriage. It seems more likely that Feles, a sailor, abandoned her and that she married Samuel bigamously, using the name Susan in the censuses to disguise her past.

    Josephine married Feles Natural on 19 Feb 1877 in St Luke, Liverpool. Feles (son of Francis Natural) was born in 1850. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Josephine married Samuel Fairhurst on 6 Mar 1882 in St Paul, Liverpool. Samuel (son of Thomas Fairhurst and Mary Forster) was born on 21 Jan 1858 in Witton cum Twambrooks; died on 19 May 1927 in Birkenhead; was buried in Rake Lane Cemetery, Wallasey. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    There are two death records for a Thomas Quinn in Liverpool in 1857, the later of which seems more likely. One in Q2 1861 was for a child aged 6, perhaps his son.

    Thomas married Jane Eliza. Jane was born in 1832 in Ireland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
