HELLO.
I AM TRYING TO GET INFORMATION ABOUT MY GRAND PARENTS.MY GRANDMOTHERS MAIDEN NAME WAS ROSE ANN ROLEYOR ROLLEY OR ROWLEY,I AM NOT SURE.
I THINK SHE WAS BORN IN LIVERPOOL IN 1896.DIED IN SOUTH SHIELDS 1975.I WOULD ALSO LIKE HELP IN FINDING WHEN SHE MARRIED MY GRANDFATHER JOHN FRANCIS ELLIS.HE WAS IN THE ROYAL NAVY AT THIS TIME AND SERVED FOR 41YEARS.MY MOTHER WAS BORN IN 1919 SO I ASSUME THEY MARRIED PRIOR TO 1919.
ANY INFORMATION ON THIS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Hi

 A good starting point would be to get a copy of her birth cert which will give her fathers name and mothers maiden name. 

Rose Ann Rowley March quarter 1895 
West Derby  Volume 8b  Page 599

You can order online at www.gro.gov.uk

Here is their marriage. Go to www.lancashirebmd.org.uk, turn up the marriage and click on the "2024WD/3/295" reference and you can print a copy of the application form with the details already on it if you want to know John's age, his fathers name and fathers occupation

Lancashire Marriage indexes for the years: 1917
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
ROWLEY Rose A ELLIS John F West Derby, St. Philip Liverpool 2024WD/3/295

Here is the family from the 1901 census.  The address was 15 Gloucester Place Liverpool and her father was an umberella worker
 
Rose Burke 8 b Liverpool Niece   
Annie Rowley 3 b Liverpool  Daughter   
Elizabeth Rowley 15 b Liverpool Daughter   
James Rowley 45 b Liverpool Head

Hi

This is probably a second marriage for James in view of the age gap between Elizabeth and the other children

ROWLEY James SHIELDS Margaret A West Derby, Register Office Liverpool REG_WD/147/54
