Title: Help please on Gore of Liverpool
Post by: otters on Sunday 21 January 07 16:05 GMT (UK)
I am asking on behalf of a friend who is just starting out on family history. He would like some information to get him going and has information back to his grandparents who were John William Gore born 1892 in Liverpool and Alice Green born 1896 in Liverpool. They were married 1919.
Does anyone have anything that can help him trace his family further back please? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Otters (and Isobel  :))

I can see 2 birth registrations:
John William Gore - Sep 1892 Barton upon Irwell registration district

William John Gore - Sep 1891 Liverpool registration district

I can't really identify the 2nd on census (but there is a possible son of Smuel and Jane), but I believe I see the first one in 1901, born Boothstown Lancashire, son of Richard and Elizabeth.

Unless you have got any other information, I suppose you'd need the marriage cert to check John's father's name...

Hi Isobel and Tanja,
Thank you for looking. I have just had a word with my friend and he says it is possible that the name was William John and not John William Gore. He is going to send for his fathers birth certificate to check the name.
Thanks again.

Gore being an unusual name and you specifically mention Liverpool, I wonder whether there is any connection with a family being researched on the Liverpool Forum?  Might be worth checking it out.
