Hi Carole
Thanks so much for your prompt response.
I didn't know my dad had been married before he married my mum until I discovered Mary's name on my granddads / grandmothers grave in Anfield cemetery. I just haven't got around to investigating further. Based on the info that you have supplied, it looks like I had another older brother William T who only looks to have lived for several months...I've just found his death in 1st quarter 1943. Mary died in 1945. As this predates the grave (my grandfather died in 1945 also), it raises the question of where the child was buried. My dad married my mum in 1947..first child...William.
What is the 1939 register that you see Mary with her parents? Is it viewable online?
Thank you so much
