Sorry, just to clarify, it was Peter Lawless jnr (1909-1960) who was photographed in his army uniform. As far as I know his father Peter Lawless snr (1869-?) was a general labourer.

Thanks once again, you are very kind to take the time to help on this. Peter Lawless snr was last recorded in October 1918 as being the father of the boys in the Nugent Care Catholic Care books, as advised to me by the researcher in Liverpool records office. He was also noted as husband of the decea...

UPDATE Just to let you know that due to your help, the assistance of a very helpful researcher in the Central Library Record Office in Liverpool and the Friends of Anfield Cemetery, I was able to locate Uncle Peter's grave in Anfield Cemetery, having died in Liverpool in June 1960. I also found the...

Thanks again Blue, you have been very helpful. I completed the online enquiry form to the link you sent so will be interested to see what they come back with and what their search fees are.

I'll get in touch with Kirkdale & Anfield Cemeteries to see if they will con...

Hi Hilary, his occupation on the death cert in 1960 is Builders Joiner.

Wow :D Hilary, thanks so much, delighted to know he was still in Liverpool in 1939. Blue, thank you so much for the wealth of information :D The marriage in 1955 to Elizabeth certainly seems to fit, I will order a copy of the marriage cert. to confirm his fathers name, this will also confirm I have ...

I really hope someone can help with this double family mystery :? The four sons of Peter & Elizabeth Lawless from Dublin ended up in an orphanage in Liverpool, nobody in the family today knows the circumstances, what happened?? I cannot find any death records for Peter or Elizabeth in Ireland nor Li...
