hello jojo

Ray and Miles was a well known furniture store in London Rd Liverpool .established in 1864 dont know when it closed but was there in 1955 (Kellys Directory)
good luck Doe

There was certainly a furnishing store , but I am pretty sure it was Ray and MILES. Probably last based in Bold Street.

Lancs BMD marr Annie Myles to John Wohlers
St Peter's 1859.

Hi have you seen the spelling of the surname Myles on a childs birth cert or is it the marriage cert..saying MYLES that you are going by.. what if Annie couldnt write.. and they have spelt Miles that way..

a birth cert of a child of theirs may have it as Miles if not maybe its just an old family tale..

Post a request for a look up - headed up correctly with the look up request and be sure of your details - eg. is it December? or December quarter?
