Minnie Bryan last lived at Madryn Street, Liverpool 8, England.    Her picture is shown on the right and at the time of her birth in 1888, the family was living at 24 Essex Street, Liverpool 1.    Her sister Sarah Dorothy Bryan, born 1892 when the family were living at 86 Tramway Road in Aigburth, Liverpool 17, is also shown here. Their father was Henry Bryan who married Ann Jane Howard on the 18th August 1887 when he was living at Chapel Lane, Liverpool 3, England.

Henry Bryan was born on 28th July 1863 when the family was living at 16 Harewood Street, Everton, Liverpool 6 and his parents were Timothy Bryan and Dorothy Bell.    Henry Bryan was a Tailor and in 1881 (age 17) was living at 5 Bailey Street, Liverpool 1, which is in the city's Chinatown.

Timothy Bryan died in 1880 and is buried at Ford Cemetery in north Liverpool. In 1881 Dorothy is recorded as a widow and as head of the household in the census that year.    From his marriage and census records, we know Timothy was a Tailor and born about 1833 to 1836 in Ireland. From his marriage certificate, it's also known that his father was Thomas Bryan, who was a joiner. Timothy's wife, Dorothy whom he married at Everton, Liverpool on the 3rd of August 1862, was the daughter of Robert Bell and Agnes. In 1861, Timothy when still single was living at 17 Beresford Street, Everton as a Tailor Journeyman with his employer William Bell a Tailor. William Bell is thought to be his future brother-in-law and brother to Dorothy. He had moved to the Everton district of Liverpool from Ulverston sometime between 1841 and 1851.

Timothy & Dorothy appear to have stayed in the Everton area initially after their marriage. When their first child Henry was born in 1863 the address was 16 Harewood Street. Their 2nd child Sarah was baptised in March 1867 at St. Patricks (RC) church at Park Place in Toxteth so it seems they moved closer to that area between 1863 and 1867. The 3rd child Dorothy Agnes was baptised in July 1870 at St. Vincent de Paul (RC) church on St. James' Street a little further north. The 1871 census records Timothy and family being at 13 Bailey Street which is close to St. James' Street. In 1881, Dorothy, now a widow was at 5 Bailey Street with the four children.

As yet, we still do not know where in Ireland Timothy Bryan (son of Thomas, a Joiner) was born about 1833-1836. Nor do we know if he served his tailor apprenticeship in Ireland or in England. We know he arrived in Liverpool sometime before the 1861 census but by 1880 he had died. A list of possible Irish Timothy Bryan records is included under the records section of this web site (see menu on the left of the Home Page).
