hello nice people,sorry about the delay in replying but i had 2 root canals followed by an infection-still recovering!anyway sorry to be so sketchy but my neighbour is in his eighties and i can only get bits and pieces out of him although he is a retired police sergeant and still drives and is a mason.
ok, from what i can work out:from marriage certificate edward hall occupation chief steward married lydia williams at st catherines church,edge hill,liverpool,3 july 1924,lived at 64 jubilee drive.
my neighbour albert,edwards son,thinks he married the barmaid lydia,that is alberts mother,edwards wife.
he says she was barmaid at the bridge inn,childwall valley road,liverpool,which edward went on to run.
albert thinks his father had a brother called george
albert says his father was in the merchant navy
p.s.lydia lived at 1 overbury road liverpool in 1924
he has no knowledge of his roots at all and if i and you nice people can pull together it will a nice thing to do and put it in his xmas card,please let me know if i've forgotton anything-probably the obvious!
got to go for now-pain killers beckon! highest regards coln
