Hello,

You haven’t given names or dates -that would help.

This is Peter in 1871 in Greenway Street with Ellen  and his grandfather. I don’t know why it says Stockport on that record because the family are in Chester.

It would be best to tell us what you already have and what you are trying to find out.

Is that what you were looking for?

1911 is the last published online census to date.
Censuses can be viewed here https://www.familysearch.org/en/
They lack some of the detail which is available on pay sites but are good to view.

There was a register drawn up in 1939 and that can be seen on pay sites.

Indexes of births/marriages/deaths can be viewed here
https://www.freebmd.org.uk/

There are other ways to find information depending on what you need. There are always people here to help.

I see you have now started another thread (link below) asking for the same information. There is no need to do that. You can carry on with this thread if you have further queries about this family.
