Averil- You have the correct 1881 Census entry for the family of William Looney & Elizabeth Thomas at Hawdon Street, Liverpool. Thank you for the death entry data for Elizabeth Jane Looney. I do not have any information on her date of birth, but the recorded age at death gives a birth date of circa 1834 which means that she was about 3 years older than her husband.

Sue - Yes I need to have to have a look at the marriage of Daniel with Esther Christian if only to determine which Esther Christian she was. There were two possibilities. She was 41 when she died ( a birth date of c.1798 ). That ties in best with Esther Christian the daughter of John Christian & Marjorie Gell who was baptised at Patrick on October 10th 1799. Patrick is where the marriage of Daniel & Esther took place.
