I can see some bits on the family :

Frederick Vondercheff died 1884 Registered Birkenhead, Cheshire
Betsy Vondercheff died 1927 Registered Birkenhead, Cheshire

Mum Betsy (widow) on 1891 census with children : William, Adam, Thomas, Elizabeth & George

I can't find anything else though in Ireland or England.

In the 1891 census Betsy is down as Elizabeth and born Cumberland. Son William born (c1873) Dublin but rest of children born at various places in England.

In 1901 Betsy's transcribed as Elizabeth Voandercheff born Abbeytown, Cumberland. Son William's birthplace is 'Ireland.' Adam, Thomas and George are also in the household.

The only Irish link looks likely to be son William/Fredredich born c1873 Dublin(?). Civil registration of births in Ireland started in 1864 and is online (free)- www.familysearch.org.
I did search for him/the surname earlier but couldn't find anything.

The only things I came across as 'registered' were the deaths of Frederick and Betsy. None of the births in Ireland or England seem to be registered. Is it possible they were from different religions and this may explain the lack of paperwork ? Just a theory !

Sorry, I have just seen that you have this family well researched on the Liverpool Board !

Good Luck
