Hello,

I am searching for a marriage of a Flatman/boatman/mariner, and have just been given some information that has led me to believe it may be worth my while to have a look at the parishes in Runcorn.
Could someone out there give me some advice on where to start looking for a sailors church in Runcorn. I am not far from Runcorn but I don't know the area at all.So someones local knowledge would be a big help.
I am looking for a marriage of George Broster and Ann Garing/Gearing. We have a few variations on the spellling of her name. about 1867/8sh.
I have them living in Liverpool 1871. I have checked St Anthony's Scotland Road Liverpool, but as he was on the move they may have not have  always lived there.
A starting point would be a great help.

Thanks

San

Dear all,

Thanks for all the help, I have wondered for a while who these men where, all I knew was that they were in with our grandfathers stuff, and I have the photo in my files. ( never thought to ask Jan)
As you have gathered by now they are the 10th Royal Hussars, (it says so on the the barrel !!!) I have had a word with Jan and she said this photo was sent to our mutual  grandmother, reason as yet unknown. I will label the photo Jan's uncle Joe and save myself any futher embarrassment.
Anyway guys and gals thanks again for the help and the feet.
I hope somebody recognizes a relative on it, now we know who they are

Best wishes to you all

Hi Sarah,

I have two death certs from ww2, one was the army and the other the airforce. You will find them in the section Deaths overseas 1939-1945 on 1837 online. The army one I sent for says Return of the warrant officers. Non commissioned officers and Men of the Royal Artillery, Killed in Action or who have died whilst serving aboard between 3rd sept 1939 and 30th June 1945.
Also it will tell you his Rank, Number (which helps in any other research) what he died of, weather he was killed in action, in the case of my Raf  chap his cause of death is listed as Air Operations.
Also it will tell you where he died.
So I would think that the army registers the death and not the families.
I don't remember seeing an original death certificate when I borrowed my uncle's stuff from another relative, but there was the telgram informing the family of his death and a letter from the King. wouldn't be sure weather the letter from the king came after the war or not. so with all that I don't suppose family's reg deaths themselves, not sure but hope this helps. give 1837 online a try worth a fiver if you find him


best wishes
