Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

If SKP has the time at this busy period I would be grateful for a Marriage lookup as follows:

St John the Evangelist, Walton on the Hill, March 1910 - Joseph Allen QUAYE to Anne GIBBS


Witnesses would be great.

Thank you in anticipation and special thanks to Mary who helped me get back on the Forum !!

Glad to see you made it in.

Unfortunately this marriage, probably the church PR, isn't available online, so it would have to be somebody who is going to the Record Office.

Thanks MaryA, maybe someone will see my quest and help out - you never know!

It's good to be back 'live' and look forward to some interaction from me at some point....

Are you the same Holly??
We had lots of contact some way back.
If yes, great to see you again.

Hi Tina, yes it's me agan! Too busy working to enjoy my hobby but now I have a few weeks break to 'dig' around!

Hope you and yours are well and enjoying some sunny weather!

So pleased to hear from you Holly!! Thank you for asking after us downunder.
Bit cooler today thank goodness, just under a ton yesterday phew..
Quaye you have to wonder about the surname.
Have you found him in census before the marriage at all?
There is a death for a Joseph A Quaye 78yrs 1st 1950 Lpol North
Ha Ha was he born in the IOM?

Thanks for the death info Tina, I didnt have that. Much appreciated. The family did come from the Iom, Joseph Allen was my great uncle. I've traced the family as far back as I wanted and now I'm just putting the meat on the bones, as they say. Dad never talked about his Manx roots so this is all very interesting for me. Thanks again and enjoy the sunshine - it's ffffrrrreeeeezing here!

St. John the Evangelist, Walton Breck Road. Not on Microfilm originals in Sandhills so you will have to wait till Spring sorry before I can do a look up for this marriage.

That's nice of you Katie.
You're welcome Holly.
In 1938 Gores/Kellys Directory there are the following:
Frank B Quaye tailor 91 Avondale Rd Wavertree (know it well)
Joseph tailor 48 Trevor Rd Walton
same address Reginald A real estate agent for Jsph Bell & Sons
Robt Hy 62 Ponsonby St Lpool 8.

I hope this may help with your Quaye tree

That's very nice of you Katie and you too Tina!

I didnt know they lived in Avondale, I know in 1944 they lived in Greenfield Rd, you kindly sent me a photo of the house Tina! I didnt know he was still a tailor in 1938 as Frank supposedly lost his sight at an early age......

At the moment it's Reginald who has captured my imagination as Dad never mentioned any of his cousins .....

Thank you both very much and if I get to Sandhills in the New Year I shall certainly let you know and maybe do a few look ups for others!

Hi DS - Thank you for that information which I didnt have, I noticed his death on Anc and the fact he left a will to the tune of almost 3,000.00! There's also some info on London Gazette, I couldnt find a marriage for him or his sister Ida.

It's the wrong time of the year to be racing off buying certs and wills - I only found him by accident last week but look forward to the New Year when I can purchase them.

Thanks again for your interest - Holly

Don't bank on getting to Sandhills, I think it has now closed until all the documenits are transferred to the Library when it opens in Spring. Watch out as I'm sure Kathy will update this when we know a more definite date.

Hi DS - thanks again for the information. It's sad to think that Ida and my Dad were cousins but she was never mentioned. I wonder why?

Hi MaryA - thanks for that information, I was thinking of a quick visit in the morning - phew !
