Does anybody know of any living relatives of Albert E V Church? He married Doris Edna Parsonage of Leasowe Cheshire August 9th 1925.

Thanks Bertione it looks like it could be him the number obviously being a document number as it differs from the one in the previous year. Must try to find out more about the Celtic and when it started its transatlantic runs to see if I can find Henry from 1909 (after he retired from the police) an...

Absolutely at a loss on that one. Had a quick look last night but cannot find any Henry or John Church or Churcher whi has a son Henry and is listed as either sailor or seaman. It was suggested to me that Henry might be illegitimate and to "save face" might have made up a name for his father. One th...

The info. On AEV Church you have is correct he was A/Sgt and the number is correct.
Why though am I unable to find Henry's birth in London in Dec. 1859? On his first marriage he has listed his father as Henry on his second as John sailor and seaman respectively.

Thank you so much. I found Henry in the National Archives with medal ribbon and the address in Warwick Street. Where did you get the photocopy i.e. site? Root canal..........don't go there. Maxed out on anaesthetic after 2 hours canals such a funny shape going into 90 degrees and branching off that ...

A.E.V. Church was Elizabeth and Henry's youngest son, didn't think there would be two of them. I found that on the Forces war records site. Still having trouble accessing the war records on Ancestry. Any info. on how to get there or are you on a different site? Thanks for the vote of confidence toye...

Will have to look further into this. Will see what I have got on WH Church's marriage I may have been barking up the wrong tree.
Will get back on this probably not today having third go at root canal on same problematic tooth, not pleasant!
Thanks for your help.

Not sure about William Henry I thought I found him married but cannot be sure. Warwick St. doesn't seem to be on any records I have, is there no mention of his father Henry? Where did you find this? Have got his younger brother Albert Edward Victor mentioned in dispatches and have found a William He...

Thanks will try that.

Where do I find Gore's 1911 Directory, which site?
Where would I find the relative directories for Liverpool?
All directories I have found on Ancestry are professional and not for ordinary public.

Matilda M Church married Norman W Nelson in 1911 , she listed her father Henry as "inspector" on her marriage certificate. Henry retired from Liverpool Police in 1908 after 25 years. I have a photograph of him wearing a uniform and a peak cap with a badge containing a flag with a white star on it. I...

Thanks once again, have applied for birth certificate as you suggested giving just name and year, hope something turns up.

Thank you for that info. will try to get to the record office in the New Year after various hospital appointments, hope something turns up. I'm sorry I was at cross purposes regarding Liscard, Cheshire and Liskeard, Cornwall. I did have the info. on Matilda's husband coming from Liscard and it has f...

What would I be able to find out from the Watch Committee reports and how do I access them?
Thank you Jo Lewis

Well thank you all so so much, I certainly have some things to work on which I never had before. I also have come across Hannah Churcher and Henry her grandson both hawkers in Hants. I did consider that Henry's mother was unmarried and I suppose it is possible to save face that Henry named his fathe...

Having trouble with Photobucket as cannot get picture any larger no matter how I try. Have not got the relevant references as would need to go back into Ancestry to look them up and my computer is playing up at the moment so may lose you.
Will try and get back to you.

I am trying to find my Gt Grandfather Henry Church on the 1911 census but am unable to find him anywhere. Henry was born in London (Middlesex) in 1859/60 I have no name of mother and two names for his father, Henry Churcher (sailor) and John Church (seaman) as found on two marriage certificates. Hen...
