Trying to find out what happened to Grace Parry born 1893? she married Reginald Borris 1896-1929 but I could not find there marriage certificate Reginald died 1929 Grace married Ernest green 1871-1957 on 23/11/1929 Liverpool I have searched the deaths but can not find her Ernest was a widow when he died

Do you know where Ernest was living when he died? Clearly if he was no longer in Liverpool, Grace's death may also have been outside Liverpool or the immediate surrounding area. There is a death registration in the Amounderness District Q2 1941 Vol 8e page 1142 for a Grace Green aged 48 (ie year of birth c. 1893). What address was given for either Ernest or Grace at the time of their marriage? It might be possible to check it against the electoral registers or directories like Kelly's and step forward in time until they either move, or Grace is no longer shown at that addrees.

There are two postems against his death on FreeBMD.org.uk, however these may have been noted by yourself, in case they were somebody else, I'll post the details here - have you checked for a Will?

07/10/2009 Reginald Lawrence Cecil Borris died 28th Febuary 1929 at 1 Nicholson street Liverpool son of William & Johanna Borris Grace Borris was the informant of his death she states she is his widow i have not been able to find records of their marriage
20/01/2014 Reginald Borris was buried 6/3/1929 at West Derby cemetery public grave number 1077 sect B age 33

And another postem against the marriage of Grace to Ernest F Green
07/10/2009 Grace Borris was the widow of Reginald Borris who died febuary 1929
Ernest Green and Grace were living at 23 Chaucer Street Bootle at the time of marriage they married at West Derby Liverpool her father was William Parry (farmer)

Strangely Reginald Borris was living at 60 Shakespeare Street, Everton in 1920, but Grace wasn't there. Did they have any children? There are a lot of Crew Lists for him on Ancestry, up to about 1926 on the Scythia.

Reginald Borris was living with his mother Johanna and step father William wheeler in 1920 at 60 Shakespear street so I presume he was not married then I could not find any children from the marriage to Grace Ernest Green died 4/6/1957 at Whiston Hospital Liverpool age 85 his address was 3 Woolfall Close Huyton the address when Grace got married was 23 Chaucer Street Bootle both Grace and Ernest living at this address Grace age 36 Ernest age 57

Mary,

When you say that Reginald Borris was at 60 Shakespeare Street in 1920, but Grace wasn't there, what source were you using? If it was the electoral register, I wouldn't have expected Grace to have been on it as she wasn't yet 30 and presumably not a property owner either.

Yes it was the Electoral Register, perhaps that is the reason.

Thank you for all your advice how do you get 1930 electoral roll it may give a clue to where Grace was living with Ernest Green

If you have an Ancestry subscription then click on Card catalogue from the Search tab at the top of the page, and type in electoral in the keyword box.

Many thanks johnnyo for the ancestry advice I did not know about the card catalogue I will enjoy looking up family members
