Mohamddin Peterson of Liverpool

[sgrollitt]

I've been struggling in vain to find anything more about Mohamddin's parents Gulam Mohamed and Susie Peterson. The church in Anfield where Mohamddin (aka John) Peterson was christened aged 28 in November 1922 was probably St Margarets, since that's where he married a month later to Margaret McLachlan.

Are there any records still existing in Liverpool for St Margarets?

I'm guessing that Mohamddin Peterson died sometime between 1965 and 1985 in Liverpool as John Peterson.

I'm also guessing that his parents were also in Liverpool and that they (probably named Gulam Peterson and Susie Peterson) died there between 1935 and 1960. They could have been living in Upper Canning Street in 1940.

One of the marriage witnesses was Margaret's sister Sarah.

Sarah A McLachlan married Nicholas J Ledwidge at St Peter's Liverpool in 1916 (Lancs BMD).

That's a smashing find! Why didn't I think of it. Thank you.

Oh my goodness! What a lovely post to read.

Mohameddin (aka John) and his wife Margaret had:

- Robert in 1927 (married in 1951)
- Samuel in 1930 (known as Sammy and never married)
- Joseph in 1932 (known as Joey)
- Thomas in 1939 (known as Tommy)

Do you remember him as Mr Peterson or Mo or John?

Sammy died in 2008. I will try to find out a bit more about Joey and Tommy.

You mentioned that your mum took you to their new house off Lodge Lane. What year would that have been and were Mr and Mrs Peterson still alive?

sgrollitt,
I have been reading this post but can't remember if anyone has checked the phone books for addresses for the Petersons, or when they were no longer listed so you can narrow down date of death?
Perhaps look for obituaries as well. Sorry if this has already been done or suggested earlier in this thread.
