Yesterday I had a conversation with a close friend,who asked me to look at her family history ,in brief she had nothing to go on,
I found her dads birth as a double entry ,in 1950,
mother had married in 1949 to a Kenneth R Bailey,Barrow In Furness Lancashire,so I need to purchase the marriage certificate,
she remarries in 1954,
Now Kenneth R Bailey is supposedly a Canadian airman,
where do I even start in Canada to look for him,
Quite obviously he didn't stay around very long,for reasons unknown,and non of my business,
but can any one point me in a direction to look up his possible military record and entry from Canada into England,until we can get the marriage certificate,please,

I wondered if anyone had any information on these four soldiers and why they are buried together,did some thing happen in Liverpool in July 1918,
I do not need any research into their backgrounds as they are not related to me in any way,
I am just intrigued as to why they are all buried together in Toxteth,


William Dean aged 49 years of Vickers St
A soldier,buried 10th July 1918
William Henry Lane,aged 39 years,of 101 Toxteth Park,
a soldier buried 11th July 1918
Davis Lee,aged 37 years,of 108 Jordan St Toxteth,
a soldier,buried 15th July 1918
Thomas Sanders,aged 32 years,of 51 Barnett Street
a soldier,buried 5th July 1915,

Each day I am asked by friends ,family and customers in my business to do family look ups,
I decided a little while ago to actually teach the basics for free,and set them of on a computer at our local library,
I think its more fun for people to do their own research ,and I do this for free in my spare time,
I do the basics and then show the person how to access records ,
But I am completely stuck on this one and the family background is a complete mystery

the person still living was born in Wedensbury Staffordshire,so not using her details,

her mother was born in Barrow in Furness,
Dorothy W Haynes ,1918 mother Brown,
Dorothy marries in Warwick in 1940
 and had one sister,

Her grandparents were,Kate and Thomas,
Kate Haynes dies in 1977 Barrow in Furness
her husband is supposed to be Thomas Haynes ,I cant find his marriage to Kate
and he supposedly went of to Africa and was not  heard of again,

If anyone can help me I will be back later,
as with out the marriage I cant even get started
Gillian

After reading this it sounds complicated,
I would like to just find the marriage of Thomas Haynes and a Kate Brown circa 1918

My brain isnt in gear today and I need some help please,
just a little any way ,
I started looking at a friends grandfather this morning and I am finding it difficult to trace his parents marriage
census I have no problem with its his parents marriage,

here they are in 1901
Market Street Dalton in Furness
William Kite,aged 49 ,electrician,born Pershore,Worcs
Eleanor aged 48,born Gorton,
William aged 23 born Redditch
Ann Eliza aged 20 born Gorton
George aged 13 born Droylsden
Percy Arnold aged 10,born Droylsden,

I have Percys war records will death and marriage dates,and to be honest at this stage I am not interested in him ,
its his parents marriage and siblings baptisms ,if possible

I think there is also an Ada,

the only one I can spot that I think may be his parents is this one on family search
and I would like to know if anyone can tell me what church it may be
Heaton Reddish Lancaster
26th November 1877
William Kite aged 26
father John Kite
Elaine Ridgeway aged 26
father Edward,
mother possibly Mary

My other favourite board is Northumberland ,and today it has crossed over with Lancashire

 Christopher Viggor,born and married  in Liverpool to Mary McGinn of Wigtown

he appears to be the son of Rachel and James,but I cant find them in 1891

if any one is able to help me please post your replies on the Northumberland board ,to avoid confusion,as this is where he is in 1911,

I have his birth and baptism and marriage,thank you
