• Notes

  1861 & 1871 Census Can't find him but the 1881 census shows him as being as mariner, so probably not in port when census taken. In 1891 he is working on the steamers on Lake Windermere, still married but still no wife. Can't find him in 1901 so may be back at sea? Philip Tyson is an extremely rare name and I have found one marrying an Ellen Tunstall in Q2 1875:- 1875 AMJ West Derby 8B 523 Searched for death (all years) and found him in 1908 West Derby, Liverpool. Age at death fits as well.
