Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

Hello - I am not sure where to start with this as I am hitting so many brick walls - I am trying to trace the family of Jessie McIntosh Smith (nee Cowper) married Arthur Smith in Liverpool 1956, I believe Jessie had 2 sons but the trail then goes very cold. Does anybody have any ideas how I can go about my hunt or is there somebody out there who knows of any members of this family. Many thanks. Maggie

Hi Maggie
A warm welcome to the forum.

You called Tina?
Hi Maggie and welcome to the forum.

As Tina has explained we don't post details of living people to respect their privacy, however we have collected a few suggestions to try to help with this sort of query which can be found here http://www.forum.liverpool-genealogy.or ... =14&t=8154

I would suggest however, that you don't restrict your search to the area of Liverpool and South West Lancashire, but also try the areas around Preston of Fulwood, Fulwood & Penwortham, Longridge, Penwortham, Walton le Dale all of which are covered by the Amounderness Registration District.

Mary!!
and I only used a piece of string in a tin can...

Hi Tina and Mary A - thank you for your suggestions and help. Kind regards. Maggie

Hi Mary - just another quick question - can my search question be altered to take out the names of the 2 sons and just leave Jessie in and Arthur as I believe they could both be deceased. Thanks Maggie.

Tina - it was the jungle drums that did it!

Maggie, I've amended your post but you can always use the Edit button on your own messages.

Thanks Mary. Kind regards. Maggie

Hi Maggie
192.com has electoral rolls from 2002 to 2012.
It's a pay per view site.
Good luck with your search

If you had an idea of the area that they lived, Ancestry have some BT phone books online, if you were to find them at the date you know you may be able to continue the search forward for a while.

Hi Mary, I tried to find birth for Jessie, guessing her age.
No luck. A few maybe's but nothing for deffo.
She may not have been born in Lancs??

Hi Tina and Mary - I managed to trace Jessie's brother's family via Genes Reunited and she was born in Scotland but unfortunately the family did not keep in touch with Jessie so the trail went cold again. I have a lot of information about what happened to them up to around 1978 but after that it is a complete blank. Thank you. Maggie.
