It might be better if you split them up into separate searches Katie.

Beginning with the last one I have a marriage
Holy Trinity Toxteth Park
17 October 1897
Thomas Charles Gale 38 Widower Publican 50 Hill Street
Father Samuel Gale, Labourer
Annie Carr 34 Widow 27 Fisher? Street
Father Daniel Keeton (Deceased) Labourer
Both appeared to sign their name
Witnesses Richard Keeton and Mary Ann? Caton?

Of course we wouldn't know which side of the family he would be a nephew on, so looking at the Keetons
Richard first married a Caroline Ann Evans on 10th June, 1878 at St Michael's Toxteth, previously unmarried he was 20 and she 17. He was a labourer living John's Place. His father was Daniel, a labourer. She was living Northumberland Street and her father was Joseph Evans a bookkeeper. Witnesses John C Johnson and Fanny Keeton.

Then at St Catherine's Church, Edge Hill on 26 December, 1891 he married 24 year old spinster Frances Ellen Mullock. Richard was 32 and a widower, Drayman living 102 Tunnel Road. His father was Daniel Keeton, Watchman. She gave the same address and her father was George Mullock, wheelwright. Witnesses were John Greenall and Frances Ann Magee.
