Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I didn't have the burial entries for the rest of the members you found. Do you know who offered to take pictures of graves? I live far away - in Argentina and so it is difficult for me to reach Ford Cemetery -
Thank you again for your generous attention

Thanks for info on Thomas Phillips who died  in 1894.
Sorry, Blue. I misinterpreted what you'd said re - coroners' records. I have looked at the inquest registers before, but from what you said I thought something more detailed had survived in some cases.
The info re dates of surviving records will be useful as I find the online catalogue for Liverpool record Office a bit less than user-friendly.

Online 19th century newspapers often provide some information about inquests so they can provide missing information. My Liverpool library card used to give me access but the service was discontinued but fortunately Lancashire libraries still provides home access.

Yes, thank you. Staff at the record office first directed me to the local papers in the late 1970s
