Thanks again. I shall look at this more closely.
And thanks for being a transcriber so that people like e can look things up from anywhere in the world (I am in France at the moment!)

This is certainly interesting. I think Jane ELiza is the unmarried mother of my great grand father John James Radcliffe who was born around 1859. Unfortunately I have never been able to find his birth at GRO or his baptism anywhere. Jane Eliza married John Wordsworth in 1869 but I think already had 2 children by then and went on to have about 9 more!
John James died in 1936 but his grandson who died last year did not know his birthday. It's just one of those brick walls!
Best wishes
Jane

I know the problems!! I started transcribing to try to find my 2x Gt Grandfathers baptism which I thought just might be at St Peters as his parents got married there & he got married there. But there are just so many churches in Liverpool Its proving to be a bit of an uphill struggle- he's not at St Peters. I cant find his birth anywhere either.
He must be somewhere that I dont expect to find him.!!

I've not got the records for 1859 (up to now) so I cant check them for you but will keep my eyes open.

Me again! Ive just found a John James RATCLIFF born Sep 1860 in Liverpool on FREE BMD Do you think it might be him with the name being wrongly transcribed?

Linda
Thanks for looking I sent for this certificate and unfortunately it is not the right one - this John James has William as his father and Ellen as mother. On my John James marriage cert his father is given as John James a Soldier and probably that is not true. Mine appears in the 1861 census with his grandparents Richard and Ann and Jane Eliza is elsewhere at that time.
Anyway thanks again.
Jane
