Andrew Lube born abt 1821 Ireland and descendants

Posted: 10 Dec 2009 11:48AM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: Lube, Luby, Shannon, Walsh
My great grandmothers family was Elizabeth Shannon born in Wigan 1878 died 30 July 1928 Stockport Cheshire
I have found the following having overcome transcription errors / mispellings of first names and surnames - her mother was Margaret Lube and father was Michael Shannon and i would like to find out more about the Lube's and Shannons but reckoned I would have more luck with the less common surname of Lube

The oldest info is 1851 census when living at No.6 Court Porter Street, Liverpool
Andrew Lube abt 1821 Ireland head Occupation = Journeyman Painter
Diana Lube abt 1811 Ireland wife(nee Walsh? see James below)
Margaret Lube abt 1845 Liverpool daughter
James Walsh abt 1830 Ireland stepson
Jane Mooney abt 1815 Ireland lodger

Diana dies sometime between 1851 and 1861 as on the 1861 census Andrew has remarried but have not found a potential death index for her yet

1861 Census now living at No.14 Court Porter Street, Liverpool
Andrew Lube abt 1821 Ireland head Occupation = Painter
May Lube abt 1814 Ireland wife
Margaret Lube abt 1844 Liverpool daughter

Andrew dies not long after census taken ? ( need to check 1861 Death index vol8b pg 21 Liverpool 1837-1934)

1871 Census cannot find his 2nd wife - May

Andrew's daughter Margaret born abt 1844 married Michael Shannon in 1863 ( 1863 Marriage Index vol8b pg 403 Liverpool 1837-1934 )

1871 Census living at 15 ? St, near Market St, Manchester
Michael Shannon abt 1831 Ireland head occupation Tailor
Margaret Lube abt 1845 Liverpool wife
Hannah ( Johannah) Shannon abt 1866 Liverpool daughter
Margaret Shannon abt 1867 Liverpool daughter
Andrew Shannon abt 1869 Manchester son

Margaret Lube ( her death is possibly 1879 in West Derby, Liverpool but I need to check this death index)

1881 Census now living at 1 Scotland Court, nr Mill St, Manchester.
Michael Shannon abt 1831 Ireland head widower Occupation = Tailor
Hannah ( Johannah) Shannon abt 1866 Liverpool daughter
Margaret Shannon abt 1867 Liverpool daughter
Andrew Shannon abt 1869 Manchester son
Elizabeth Shannon abt 1874 Manchester daughter

Between 1881 and 1891 Michael remarries - Alice Kendal - date/place unknown? and they have 2 children 1885 Alice Shannon and 1886 Henry Shannon

I cannot find any of the family members in 1891 census or afterwards except that I pick up Elizabeth Shannon on her marriage certificate in 1899 when she married my great grandfather Joseph Hitch and have the 1901 census data for them.

Re Michael Shannon - according to family memories he had a tailors shop in Manchester somewhere off Picadilly that you went down steps to enter and he developed waterproof riding wear which was unusual at the time. He possibly had been an army tailor at some point but details not known. I would like to find out what happened to Michael and his children - Elizabeth's siblings as they sink out of sight after 1881

I really want to find out more about the Lube family line as this is a fairly unusual name but would appreciate any help in filling out the gaps re the census data given above and also earlier facts.

So here is hoping that someone out there can help me with my research ( Elizbeths husband - Jospeh Hitch also comes form a mysterious family as I cannot trace them further back for definite before a marriage certificate dated 1867 ) So it would be nice to make a breakthrough somewhere with my maternal ancestral line.

Thank you for reading this
