The 1881 Census showsPeter Bellion was living at No 2 Procter Street, West Derby, Liverpool. He is described as a Cotton Porter, aged 49, born at Toxteth Park, Liverpool, with his wife, Ann, aged 47, born in Liverpool, and five children (the eldest, a son, being a Plumber).
[RM: The GRO records show a Peter Bellion aged 58 died in the West Derby district (includes Toxteth) in the quarter of September 1893. CP: This is possibly our man, his age at death tallies with his age on enlistment. However another Peter Bellion is registered as dying aged 63 in December 1893 in Liverpool, which raises some confusion as to which man was in fact 1689 Peter Bellion.]
