Post by: maelys on Wednesday 06 May 09 11:53 BST (UK)
Hi,

 can anyone help please?

I'm looking for the Tomkins family in Liverpool 17.  I have Ernest Alfred Tomkins born 1897 Liverpool and am looking to find his parents.  Have tried ancestry but with no luck.  I think his dad was Ernest Tomkins.

any help would be brilliant,

many thanks,

Maelys :D

The free 1911 index shows an Earnest (note spelling) Alfred Tomkins aged 12 living in West Derby Liverpool

Using only the free index shows it to be the same family as posted in 1901 with the addition of some more children
