The Peters / Williams Family

Table of Contents

G7: William Peters and John Williams

We know nothing about John and William other than what is written on their children’s marriage certificate – who tied the knot in 1852 – that William was a butcher and John was a farmer.

John was married to a woman named Mary who in 1871, when aged 80, lived with her son-in-law and two of her grandchildren on Chester Road in Buckley, Wales.

G6: Peter Peters (1816-1890) and Ellen Williams (1820-1864)

Birth: Peter Peters was born in around 1816 in Argoed, which was just a few clusters of houses dotted along the road from Mold to Buckley in North Wales.

Marriage: on 7 August 1852 to Ellen Williams at the Church of St Michael in Liverpool. They had both joined the thousands of Welsh migrants moving to the city at this time by the promise of employment and a better standard of living. He was aged 36 and she was 32.

Spouse history:  Ellen was four years younger than Peter and had also been born in around 1820 to John and Mary Williams – also in in Argoed.

Children: (1) Mary in 1855, (2) John in 1857, (3) Sarah in 1859

Occupations: when captured in the census a year before her marriage, Ellen had worked as a house servant to the Woodward family on Oldham Street in the centre of town. Peter appeared to alternate between being a butcher and a cattle dealer.

Residences: as a bachelor, Peter lived on Nelson Street close to the Queen’s Dock, which was a rather grand area with fine squares and town houses. The couple soon moved back to Wales and settled in the hamlet of Mynydd Isa, just down the road from Argoed. They lived with Ellen’s elderly mother until her death. By 1881, 63-year-old Peter had followed his daughter Mary to Wrexham, moving with them to Liverpool between 1886-1889.

  • Peter: Nelson Street, Liverpool (1852); Chester Road, Buckley (1871); 7 Wellington Road, Wrexham (1881); 59 Ritson Street, Liverpool (1890)
  • Ellen: 7 Oldham Street, Liverpool (1851-1852)

Deaths: Ellen died aged just 44, being buried on 28 June 1864. Peter never remarried and died in Liverpool when aged 75. He was buried in Toxteth Park Cemetery on 4 June 1890.

G5: Mary Ellen Peters (1855-1933) and Henry Jones ( (1855-1900)

See the Jones line for the history of Peter and Ellen’s first child and her descendants.

G5: John Peter Thomas Peters (1857-?)

Birth: John Peter Thomas Peters was born during 1857 in Mynydd Isa. He was the second child of Peter and Ellen. His mother died during 1864 when John was just seven.

Christening: on 12 April 1857 at Emmanuel Church in Buckley.

Occupation: by the time that he was 14 John laboured in one of the local coal mines. Coal fuelled the engines that powered Britain’s industry, and by 1871, there were over 543,000 people working the mines. Many of these were children like John. They were cheaper to employ than adults, easier to discipline and often forced to work longer hours. Before the Mines and Collieries Act was introduced in 1842 it was common practice for boys and girls aged as young as four to work underground – the Act made it illegal to employ boys aged 10 and under.

A coal mine was a dangerous place for adults, so it is no surprise that many children were badly injured underground. They worked to operate the doors that kept the mine shafts ventilated, pulled the carts to and from the coal face and helped the adult miners cut the coal. Some children spent up to twelve hours on their own.

As an adult he joined the army of Welsh builders in Liverpool.

Residences: at some point between 1871 and 1881 John followed his sister Sarah to Liverpool.

Christening: on 22 April 1859 at Emmanuel Church in Buckley.

Marriage: on 14 June 1880 to Henry Williams in St Catherine’s Church in Edge Hill, Liverpool. She was aged 21 and he was 23.

Spouse history: John was born in in around 1857, probably to John and Prudence Williams but further confirmation is required.

Occupations: Henry followed in his father’s footsteps and become a house joiner.

Residences: after a childhood in rural Wales, Sarah had moved to the bright lights of Liverpool. The newlyweds lived in a series of terraced houses in the area around Toxteth Park Cemetery over the next 30 years. The city was expanding rapidly and when they moved to the neighbourhood it was still under construction – and perhaps join worked on its construction. Following her husband’s death, Sarah moved in with daughter Ada and family.

  • Sarah: Chester Road, Buckley (1871); 207 Chatsworth Street, Liverpool (1880); 43 Bishopgate Street, Liverpool (1881); 45 Tagus Street, Liverpool (1887-1894); 65 Solway Street, Liverpool (1895-1897); 34 Solway Street, Liverpool (1898-1900); 52 Grierson Street, Liverpool (1901-1906); 11 Grierson Street, Liverpool (1911)

G4: Henry Williams (1881-?)

Birth: Henry Williams was born in Liverpool during 1881. He was the first child of Henry and Sarah.

Christening: on 5 February 1882 at Holy Trinity Church in Wavertree.

Occupation: Henry became a mariner and served aboard the ship RMS Majestic as a steward from at least 1906/07. This was a fifteen-year-old liner owned by the White Star Line that was operated on the Liverpool-New York run. In 1907 the ship was transferred to a new Southampton-New York route, and it’s unlikely that Henry went with her.

Residences: the ship’s books show that in 1906 Henry lived with his parents still, but by the following year lived a few streets away on Moss Grove. He again lived with his parents when the next census was taken in 1911.

Marriage: on 24 August 1919 to Peter Joseph Hanley at St Dunstan’s Church in Edge Hill. She was aged 36 and he was 32.

Spouse history: Peter was an Irishman who had been born on 10 February 1881 to tailor Michael Hanley and Mary Byrne in Tinahely, County Wicklow – about 50 miles south of Dublin. On 17 March 1900 when Peter was aged 19, he joined The Wicklow Artillery (Southern Division), Royal Garrison Artillery – a local militia unit. After receiving a taste of army life, Peter enlisted into the Prince of Wales’s Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians) in October 1900. He was almost immediately sent to fight the Boers in South Africa, thereafter joining the British garrison until January 1906. Five years of colonial policing followed, with 18 months in Mauritius and three years in India. He was discharged in August 1911 after being imprisoned in Plymouth for theft. He apparently made his way to St Helens where he met Catherine Meredith. They had an illegitimate daughter, Mary Agnes, in January 1914 before marrying at Prescot Register Office in April.

Peter re-enlisted following the outbreak of war with Germany, joining the Royal Dublin Fusiliers. During this second spell in the army, he served four years away on active service in the Mediterranean and in France. He fought the Turks at Gallipoli, the Bulgars in the Balkans, then Turks again in Palestine, before finally facing the Germans in France during the 100 Days Offensive. His service culminated in the winning of two Military Medals in two weeks during the final weeks of the war. By this time his wife was dead, and the fate of his daughter is not clear.

Residences: Sarah lived with her mother until at least 1911. The newlyweds then lived in a terraced house on Lightwood Street near the railway station. This was the same address that Sarah’s brother Frank had given when he had enlisted into the army in 1915.

  • Peter: 53 Lightwood Street, Liverpool (1920-1925)

Occupations: 18-year-old Sarah worked as a warehouse assistant in 1901. She then became a domestic nurse. Post-war Peter found work as a dock labourer, although when the 1921 census was taken he was unemployed. Sarah worked as a cleaner for the Palais de Luxe cinema on Lime Street to bring in some income.

Deaths: the couple only enjoyed five years of marriage, as sadly Sarah died in early 1924 when aged just 41. She was buried on 8 March in the same plot as her parents in Toxteth Park Cemetery.

Notes: in 1921 they lived with 11-year-old ‘stepdaughter’ Doris Francis Williams and a border couple, James and Sarah Price. It is presumed that Doris is Sarah’s illegitimate child. No father was listed on the birth registration.

Spouse history: Flora was born in Liverpool on 8 October 1915, the seventh child at least of George McNeile and Jessie Bell. Her father was a ship and house painter, which is perhaps how she met her future husband.

They had been landed in Belgium in the middle of October 1944, several months after D-Day, and participated in the Allied advance into north-western Germany. They took part in the battle for Wesel, and later the battle around the Dortmund/Ems Canal. Alan was killed in action on 23 April 1945 during the fighting for the great port city of Bremen – just two weeks before the end of the war.

Alan was originally buried in nearby Achim before being reburied in Becklingen War Cemetery overlooking Luneburg Heath where, on 4 May 1945, Field-Marshal Montgomery had accepted the German surrender.

Alan named his wife as his beneficiary when completing his will in September 1943, putting their address as 11 Killarney Road, a small red bricked terraced house in West Derby. Flora still lived there in 1945, sharing with Seth and Christina Evans and Majorie McClure.

Elizabeth had entered service by 1911, when she worked for the Tracy family in their grand town house on Catharine Street in central Liverpool. Allan Tracy was a consultant engineer running his own business and originally from London, although the family had spent time in New Zealand. After Edward’s death she found employment as an office cleaner.

He was described as 26 years and 325 days old, 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 147 lbs and being of good physical development with normal vision. The only ‘slight defect’ noted was that he had an upper dental plate. The Battalion was sent to France in February 1917 but Frank was wounded within just a few weeks and admitted to a field hospital where he remained until early May. He was wounded again just three days after being discharged, suffering a shell wound to the chin which required his immediate repatriation home. Fully recovered, Frank returned to France during September 1917 but unfortunately was captured during November 1917 and became a prisoner of war.

They lived at Green Hayes Cottages, part of the estate for the New Heys villa in this wealthy rural suburb where her father worked a coachman. They shared with two stable grooms. Over the next decade the family moved to the centre of Liverpool, where in 1911 15-year-old Doris lived with her father near Edge Hill station. Her occupation was given as ‘housework’ while her father was still a coachman.

Post-war Frank lived on Kingsley Road in Toxteth. In 1921, Frank and Doris moved into a semi-detached house on Burman Road, part of a brand-new estate in the very east of Garston that became their long-term home.

Doris survived him for 30 years and died in Liverpool during August 1986 when aged 91, caused by bronchopneumonia linked to heart disease. She was cremated at Liverpool Crematorium. She likely lived in a nursing home at Allerton Priory on Allerton Road at the time.

G3: Frank Leonard Williams (1916-1998)

Birth: Frank Leonard Williams was born in Liverpool on 2 March 1916. He was the first child of John and Catherine. His mother died while his father was a prisoner of war and it’s not known who cared for him during that time.

Christening: on 9 April 1916 at St Clement’s Church in Toxteth Park.

Marriage: to Ivy Birchall in Prescott during 1938. They were both aged 21.

Children: they had one daughter in 1950.
