Thanks for your help but now I can see that the Edith Alice Davies that William Hardy married was born on the 26 Feb 1881 it doesn't tally with the birth of my Edith Alice Davies who according to the census was definitely born in the first quarter of 1880. Unless she lied about her age, which they t...

Can anyone locate the Davies girls listed below in the 1939 census for me please. I know that Beatrice Ann was in service as a cook in the Stafford area along with her sister Edith Alice who was also a cook for another family in the area for many years? I don't think either of them ever married but ...

Got the Census details that match yours thanks, thought the forum might be able to access more than I found online but it looks like that what not the case. Thanks again for all your help though.

Further to my last post about the Davies girls born in Liverpool, I have since received their parents wedding certificate and it reveals that John Davies and Mary Morgan, both aged 24, were married in the Great George Street Chapel Liverpool on the 9 Sept 1869. Can anyone find anymore information pl...

Thanks again everyone, great work as always!

Please could you help me to find my relatives baptism records if there are any! I am not sure what religion they come under. They are: Florence Mary Davies b1871 Beatrice Ann Davies b1873 Edith Alice Davies b1880 Maud G Davies b1884 all to a John and Mary Davies in Liverpool. All the girls have thei...

GRO Births only go back as far as 1837 it seems or am I missing something?

Thanks for trying everyone. Found his full DoB on his merchant navy ticket 27 Dec 1844 and thought it might help, obviously not! Anyone know what to do next with regards to finding this?

Trying to find a birth or baptism record for Robert Walker, son of Edward Walker who was a White Smith by trade, born 29 May 1815 in Liverpool. Can anyone help please?

Ok thanks Blue, I definitely have him listed as a White Smith on his sons marriage cert in 1838. I also know from his sons census records that he was born in Liverpool in abt 1815. Will keep trying to nail it over time!

No takers for this?

I am trying to find an Edward Walker (occupation-White Smith) who was the father of a Robert Walker b1815 in Liverpool. I have found the banns for the right Robert Walker who married his second wife Ann Loveday 26 Sep 1864 and it lists his father Edward as working as a Smith. His first marriage cert...

I started to get a glimmer of hope that Richard and Robert were brothers at one stage, as they both have Edward Walker as a father. Unfortunately Roberts father was a White Smith and not a teacher as in Richards case. Spot on Alison C, everything matches except for the relationship and surname where...

OK this is a bit complicated so I will try to spell it out as clearly as I can. I have a Frances Walker born abt 1842 in Swansea to a Robert & Ellen Walker from Liverpool. I could only find her in the 1871 census living with her father Robert, steamship engineer b1815, his new wife Ann and her mothe...

Could a White Smith also be known as a Watch Case Maker when it comes to the occupation entry on a census?

Anyone know where I can find a photograph of Edmund Street Liverpool around 1880 please?

Thanks everyone

William Thomas Walker was born in Liverpool on 23 Sep 1894. We are pretty sure he was a Merchant Seaman, probably a stoker, in WW1 and he may have been a survivor after the Laurentic was sunk off the coast of Ireland. So far I have been unable to find any information about his Merchant Seaman days s...

Thanks everyone

Looking for details of the Orr family living in West Derby Liverpool in the 1939 census please. All I have is that their daughter Margaret Orr was born on 16 May 1923 so far.
