Willamson Zipporah b Jun qtr 1867
Williamson Zipporah d mar qtr 1868 ....aged 0 ...so the possibility of "the other Zipporah b 1867 being Roberts wife is a no no... so I cannot find a VERA walker registered at all in Hayfield reg district (for Broadbottom ) a Vera Walker b 1906 West Derby (Garstons reg dist)... far too many possibilities for a James Walker b West Derby...none in Hayfield cannot find any Mc Namara / Williamson births.......allan

Her first marriage is listed on Cheshire BMD, 1891 at St John, Godley, and the 1911 one is on Lancashire BMD at Our Lady & St. Nicholas & St. Anne, Liverpool.

The 1911 census consists of:
Denis McNamara aged 38 b Woolton, Lancashire Zipporah McNamara aged 35 b Mottram, Cheshire Denis McNamara aged 4 Veronica McNamara aged 1 I can't work out what place of birth is recorded for the children (and don't know who their mother is, of course!) but they were both registered in West Derby district. Denis senr is on the 1881 census with his parents, but can't see him easily after that except in 1911. He doesn't seem to have ever died -perhaps his job was connected to the sea and that's why he doesn't show up in 1891 and 1901 and the sea might have claimed him in the end?

Originally enlisted in South Lancs Regiment 28th Oct 1890
Transferred to army reserve 3rd Dec 1898 Rejoined 10th Aug 1899 Discharged 10th Nov 1902 Rejoined 20th Aug 1914 Still serving 15th July 1919 Total service 16 years 92 days Some of the above was in 1st Gunner Battalion, The Cheshire Regiment, but not sure when he changed over (probably 1914)? The dates explain him being missing on the two censuses! He applied for a pension after WW1. When he was discharged 10th Sept 1919 (last posting in Gibraltar) his address was 26 Shakespeare Street, but I'm not sure if it says Garston or somewhere else? is/was there a Shakespeare St in Garston? It's on page 10866 of 41925 under Den(n)is McNamara if anyone wants to have a look......(sorry, I don't want to backtrack to see what spelling he was under.....he signs his name Denis, but some of the pen pushers prefer Dennis!) His claim for a pension was for varicose veins, but it was rejected. He says he is married in 1919 but the wife and children bit of the form are blank. A different page detailing his army discharge has a different address at the same date of 10th Sept 1919 - 2 McCauley St Edge Hill Liverpool, so that's a bit confusing! lol 19th Dec 1922 he is at 21 Hughes St Garston. Cheshire Regiment no 29305 issued British War Medal and Victory Medal. He was a lance corporal in 1902 but reverted to private in 1914 and for the duration of WW1. Nope - he was acting corporal in Jan 1919. When he wrote the letter asking about a modified pension in 1919, he was living at 2 Macaulay St Edge Hill, so different spelling to above. Ah, says he married a spinster named Zipporah Williamson 17th April 1911 (that's after the census!) at St Nicholas Liverpool. Children, Denis 11th June 1906 West Derby Veronica 15th Oct 1909 West Derby Margaret 26th Sept 1912 West Derby His details in 1914: height 5'9" weight 151 lbs eyes and hair grey Religious denomination Roman Catholic

1915 Zipporah was living at 20 or 28 (probably 28?) Otway St Garston.
St Nicholas is C of E isn't it? So Denis married 'out' as it were, as he was RC.
