[*]After the success of my last request to help with my family unanswered questions .I hope your society can help and advise me with my Gt uncle Alfred Lloyd's WW2 record. As kids my Brothers and I would try to get him to recount some of his stories, as Our Dad said He served in most of the war. But...

My early childhood was in Liverpool 8 Then on to The Sprawling Prefab estate in Belle Vale The new housing development of Childwall Valley,Then when Married St Helens and now Rainhill. All with th...

Mary A , IF I can be of any help with my Knowledge of My Liverpool as Bert and your excellent FHS have been to me I would be proud to be of assistance.Thanks again

Bert, to Cross reference some of the facts You have supplied, you mentioned some of the family giving Chestnut Street as there last address.My Gt Grandfather gave this address for his marriage cert when he married his wife Edith of Clare st ,This all bares out as Off Myrtle st in old Liverpool 8 all...

Bert , It seems to fit into place now, You must be a dab hand at this Family history.How far have you got with your family?and have you been doing it long?I first got interested though my Dads curious beginnings,As I am 1st generation Liverpool/Irish( My Mum was from rural Co Rosscommon ) and Dad fr...

Bert ,you are bang on the money.i think I am heading over the water ,My Gt Grandfather Harrison could have grown up in Bikenhead Tranmere? I know he had a sister Alice and as a kind soul has furbished me with another Baptismal cert for Janet Emily .My Gt Grandfather Harrison appears next Southport i...

I missed out, Man of the house is Our mystery man Edward now shown as a Pipe maker

Hello all, OK this all started with my paternal grandmother Janet White nee Lloyd who was defiantly the daughter of Harrison Loyd and Edith Lloyd nee Barnes. Harrison( Mother was Elizabeth Lloyd nee Harrison hence my Great granddad being called Harrison. Elizabeth Harrison was from ( I think Leasowe...

Bert Do you think then I am barking up the wrong tree ,thinking the E Lloyd of Cherry Lane is not the man of Cockspur st? If so would that mean my Mr Lloyd died earlier or later than. 1846 If you have access to the 1851 census could I see if any of his children appear on it i.e. Martha, Edward Jr Lu...

I meant no disrespect , and I am listening to Ber'ts more knowledgeable advice, unfortunately this frustrates me as i feel the nearer you get , the further you seem away
I think I need to exercise more patience with my search please accept my apology if I have caused any offence Colin

Bert, is it very presumptive to assume The 1st born of Edward and Ellen (John) was he named after his father.You have shown me both his 1st son(infant death) and last son were both John.I so am I looking for a John Lloyd born in the early 1700's? Colin

Good morning, Thank you for the information the next pieces of evidence I have on John Lloyd is his baptism details "St Peters 12 Jan 1832 parents Edward and Ellen giving his fathers occupation as Labourer then his marriage to Elizabeth Harrison his age given as 24 recording his father as Edward Llo...

Another thing I must find out is where is St Mary's Cemetery?

No Bert only shows buried liverpool St Mary's 05 10 1847 address CHERRY LANE as his dob was 19 04 1792 making him 51 The 1841 shows him having 7 children Edward,Thomas,Martha,Henry, and William then the youngest Lucy andJohn

Good Evening Bert, Another thought I had is ,as Lucy was Edwards youngest daughter.Maybe trying to trace Ellen his widow, but how.?John his youngest son was my great great grandfather and I can track him down to my generation. I want now to pick up who was Edwards parents? was he born in Liverpool? ...

Good evening I have a notification of an Edward Lloyd being buried in Liverpool but his last address being Cherry st.How do I prove this my Edward Loyd ,My last solid proof of address is the 1841 census showing Cockspur st The micro film archives in Picton Library for the Gores directory shows no si...

All my digging has turned up the Lloyd family living in Heath st ,off Myrtle st in Liverpool 8 from the late 1800's from my Great grand father Harrison ,his wife Edith and children Fredrick,Janet (my grandmother) Harry, Edith,Thomas...
