Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

Thank you so much Hilary and JohnnyO for your help. I don't know the RC churches in the area my Mum and her sister were born Millers Bridge 1916 and 1918 and one born Derby Road 1935. I will try to work out possible churches. yappie

Thank you to you all for your replies. I think I will have to wait for new records to come on line as I live in the South East. Oh to have started this when I was young and used to travel to Liverpool to visit Great Aunts - all gone now :( . I would like to thank JohnnyO for pointing out the Kirkdal...

Thank you Bertieone for your reply. I am interested in the period from 1911 through to 1937 although I have a number of relatives who lived in Bootle from 1880 who I cannot find baptisms for on the churches on Ancestry. I have only just come back to researching after taking a years break yappie

Good afternoon everyone. I wonder if any of you lovely people know the nearest church to Church View Bootle.

Hi JohnnyO I may have the wrong family but on the 1911 Census there is Dennis Keeley born 1870 Widnes, Catherine born 1875 DUNDALK IRELAND, plus 4 children - 3 living 1 died. Hope this helps yappie

A Merry Christmas and a Prosperous and Healthy New Year to all the wonderful helpful people on this Forum. yappie

Thank you so much MaryA for all the information - you are so knowledgeable. I am more interested in ethnicity and blood line than finding cousins who are 3 or 4 times removed. On both maternal and paternal sides of my family seem to originate in Ireland. I have gone back to the early 1700s but come ...

I am thinking of doing the DNA test and wonder if any of you lovely people know if there is a difference between the FMP and Ancestry ?

Lyn if you go on the CWGC site you will be able to print your grandson a certificate

Hi Lyn Edwin is on the CWGC - Lance Corporal 15799 and is on the Thieval Memorial - The Kings (Liverpool Regiment) and was the son of Alexander and Elizabeth A Fletcher of 11a Mount Vernon Road Liverpool. Hope this helps.

Thank you Blue I will look at that. I haven't used Family search for some time and having difficulty logging in. Is it possible to cancel my old account a start as new one. Any suggestions will be gratefully received. yappie

Hi Folks - A surprise today with the download of Baby Catherine's death certificate. It wasn't due until tomorrow. It states she died of Marasmus 15/08/1890. Father Patrick Hunt labourer. I have found a Patrick Hunt who died in the Workhouse in 1893. What a very tragic family if this is the case. I ...

Hi Folks I thought you would like to know that I have just received the PDF of Catherine's death certificate. She died in Liverpool Workhouse of Scirrhus (Breasts) which I believe to be Breast Cancer. So sad such young Mum. I should received baby Catherine's certificate on Thursday. Once again thank...

Bertieone has anyone ever told you - you are brilliant !!! Can I be a pest and ask where the found the Anfield burials, The Mary Hunt you found I am sorry to say I found her and then dismissed her - what would she be doing so far from home? I didn't think to check deaths at sea for Patrick - perhaps...

Hi Bertieone - Thank you for those deaths. Coincidence tells me it may be Mother and Daughter so I have sent for the pdf for the Mother. Very sadly I have found another child Patrick born 18/9/1887 buried 12/10/1887 1 month at St Anthonys. I have yet to find the burials for the two Catherines. Its g...

Thank you Blue, Mary and Bert for you very prompt replies. The marriage took place 23/4/1844 between Catherine McCormick and Patrick Hunt both of Wright Street, Father Michael McCormick. From there they both vanish. I think Catherine may be my GGGrandmother's Sister. This family is my biggest brick ...

Hi Folks Hope you all had a good summer. I have found a marriage in the above Church in 1884 of a possible relation. Would one of you knowledgeable Folks know if the GRO certificate would show actual ages or just have "full age" etc. yappie

Hi George You probably already know that you can download the War Diaries for most of the Liverpool Kings Regiments from the National Archives. I downloaded the War Diary for 12 Liverpool Kings - 174 pages which cost £3.50. Hopefully the 1/9 btn is available. Good Luck. yappie

Thank you so much MaryA, Erica and Scotchmer for your help. I have an aunt who turned 100 in January and hoped her record would now be open. I have all her details - birth, marriages, death and burial dates but would like to know where she was in 1939. According to family she was with them in Bootle...

Hi you lovely genies. Do you know when FMP will be updating their closed records. I know some are open up to 1991 and how long before the 100th birthday is passed does the record open automatically. yappie
