Investigating African Americans in Victorian Britain led me to Isaac William Cisco who married in Ormskirk in 1878 and settled in Bolton where he died in 1905. Three of his seven children survived into adulthood and kept living in Bolton.
Ann or Annie Maud Cisco 1879-1973 never married
Gertrude Cisco 1883 married Fred Holmes in 1919 and seems to have died in 1956
George Washington Cisco 1887 married Sarah E Thompson in 1920 and died in 1935. He served in the Royal North Lancashire Regiment as private 37631 from April 1917 to February 1919.
The parents died in 1904 and 1905.
