Struggling with Neighbours Family history-HELP!

[wise1]

Can I request some assistance from the great experts on this forum.

I have a neighbour who we have discussed their family history . I have a FindMyPast sub
but can I find his family on there .

Patrick Brennan -Born 19,12.1894 Liverpool . I have his Merchant Navy record but cannot pick him
up in the census records of 1901 -1911 .

Any wizards on here have a magic wand or something ? Im stuck ! Thanks in advance people.

Presumably you don't have the marriage certificate which should give information on his father 
According to LancashireBMD it was Liverpool, Register Office or Registrar Attended
