Hello Seadragon
I am very excited to hear I have some relatives that I didn't know about, especially so soon into my research! I have no idea why Charles moved to Liverpool either. I assumed it was for work. I have quite a bit of information about his family as he is my gt grandfather. I can even tell you where his grave is. I have pictures if you would be interested.
Have an enjoyable holiday and I will look forward to your return more than you do!

Hello. I know this is an old topic and I'm sorry for starting it again, but I've only just started researching my family tree. I stubbled across this post via Google.

My Grandad is Charles Drake, born Bootle Liverpool, 1910. His father was Charlie Drake, Born 1870 Thornton Bradford. I have seena Census record showing my Gt grandfather living with Abraham Drake as his father in Green lane Thornton Bradford. So Abraham Drake is my Gt Gt grandfather. Mary Ann seems to have had a child also called Abraham (very confusing when children are called after their fathers!) But there is no father for Abraham Drake Jr. I only have 3 census records for this part of my family, which doesn't shed much light on the, who is the mother situation. I was just wondering how anyone one got on looking for marriage/birth certs?

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
