Hi Dotty,

If you get time when you go to the record office could you look up the details of Joseph Williams's marriage to Martha Henshaw? It was in 1839 at Manchester, St. John.

ALso, if possible could you look up Thomas Bebbington & Mary Hopley in 1850 at Toxteth Park, St. James and Charles Walker & Sarah Evans in 1864 at Liverpool, Our Lady & St Nicholas & St Anne.

thanks,

chesters.

Hi,
 I wonder if you could look for something for a friend of mine? He is just starting his family history with my help but I can't find the birth registration for his grandfather anywhere.
I have his grandfathers marriage certificate for Dec 1919 and he ( John Gore ) was 28 years old which means he was born 1891 in Liverpool. I would like the details to be able to send for the birth certificate.

I would be very grateful if you could possibly have a look for us.

Thank you.

Does it show John's Gore father's name and occupation on the marriage cert?

Hi Dotty,

John's father was called Thomas and on the 1881 census he was a dock labourer but was deceased when John married.

As far as I know Thomas was married to Margaret Masterson.

Hope this helps.

Thanks again.

No joy as yet.Who were the witnesses on the marriage cert please

Dotty

Hi,

The witnesses on the marriage certificate were Joseph Taylor and Elizabeth Green, her sister.

Hi Dotty,

Thought I would send you this one through the original plea.
John Gore born 1891 Liverpool married Alice Green 1919. His father was Thomas (Deceased) on the marriage certificate.
The 1891 census shows Thomas Gore 44, wife Margaret 40 and family living Rachel St, (St Matthews) Liverpool. There is a marriage for Thomas to Margaret Masterson 1876 and also Margaret Duffy 1877. After looking for birth dates for them both, I think Margaret Duffy is the most likely one as she is the correct age on the census born 1850.

I was hoping that if you had time to have a look at the registration it would maybe confirm it for me to be able to send for the marriage certificate. I would hate to follow the wrong family.

Again, thank you for your help.

I am searching for my great grandfather and family. A bit of a brick wall with more twists and turns than I care.  Please tell me i this is too much to look up and I understand.

I am looking for baptisms at Manchester Cathedral.

I am trying to find the baptism of:
George William Burke born January 5, 1876.  parents William Burke and Mary Jane Morris or Harriet Stone (They were married February 1874 in Manchester Cathedral).

Dorothy Burke born 06 SEP 1880 and chistened  01 MAY 1881   Manchester Cathedral. Same parents.

They also had a sister Harriet Ann  Burke born December Quarter 1877 in Salford. Probably baptised in the same place.

Thank you so much- Kristin
