Less detail
Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Florrie Fairhurst was born in 1887 in Liverpool (daughter of Samuel Fairhurst and Josephine (Susan) Quinn).

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Samuel Fairhurst was born on 21 Jan 1858 in Witton cum Twambrooks (son of Thomas Fairhurst and Mary Forster); died on 19 May 1927 in Birkenhead; was buried in Rake Lane Cemetery, Wallasey.

    Other Events:

    • Occupation: Waterman
    • Baptism: 7 Feb 1858, St Helen, Witton

    Notes:

    Capt Samuel Fairhurst in burial record.
    Recorded twice in 1911 census, with wife Susan in Lombard Street, Liverpool, and at sea aboard the Evening Star.
    Recorded in 1911 as having had no children, although a daughter Florrie, age 13 b Seacombe, is listed with Samuel and Susan in the 1910 census - no other record of her has been found.

    Samuel married Josephine (Susan) Quinn on 6 Mar 1882 in St Paul, Liverpool. Josephine (daughter of Thomas Quinn and Jane Eliza) was born in 1858 in Liverpool; died on 2 Feb 1937 in Littledale Road, Wallasey. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 3.  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.
