Great Gran ALDRIDGE


Elizabeth ALDRIDGE (nee BURNETT)
(1873 - 1952)


Elizabeth also died at the hospital on Smithdown Road, Sefton Park, Liverpool aged 78 in 1952 and her daughter Annie Leay PLIMMER was the informant.

NB: In 1911 her step-father William James WILSON died aged 78. Her half-brother James WILSON is the informant.


In 1901 she is with her husband and family at 5 House, 3 Court, Beresford Road, Toxteth Park, Liverpool. They had been married in 1892 at St James, Toxteth Park, Liverpool.

Her mother Mary WILSON (prev BURNETT, nee HOWARD) died on 14th Feb 1901 at 3 Court, Beresford Road, no house number is indicated.


In 1891 I find her at 280 Upper Mann Street, Toxteth Park as a domestic servant living with her family, a combination of BURNETT / WILSON.

In 1881 the BURNETT family members are incorrectly transcribed as "Bennet WILSON", at 10 Rankin Street, Toxteth Park, Liverpool:
William James 46
Mary 40
Charlotte 74 (his mother)
George 16 (his nephew)
John Bennett 18
William Bennett 12
Elizabeth Bennett 7 (m. 1892 to ALDRIDGE)
Mary Bennett 5 (m. 1898 to William (Emmanuel?) ROBERTS)
James 1 (their son)
Elizabeth STANTON 63 (her aunt)
Larah LEWIN 42 (lodger)
John LEWIN 15 (lodger)

Her own grandmother (Elizabeth BURNETT {nee PEARSON}) and perhaps her name sake, died soon after the 1881 census was taken in that same year.


Her father James BURNETT, carpenter or sometimes as a shipwright, died in 1877 due to an accidental fall into a graving dock. He died at 12 Rankin Street, Toxteth Park and was concussed for 10 hours before he passed over. An inquest was held on 14th December 1877.


It would have been just before Elizabeth's fourth birthday when the accident happened.
She was born on 19th December in 1873 at 4 Court, Blair Street, no house number given.


Here is the BURNETT family in 1871 at 13 House, 4 Court, Blair Street, Toxteth Park, Liverpool:
James 35 (b. Scotland)
Mary 30
Johana 9 (m. 1880 to John WINCKLE)
John 6
William 2
Jane 4 months (d. aged 3 in 1874?)
