The Lighter Side / Why a Burial in Unconcecrated Ground?

« on: Wednesday 19 November 14 16:30 GMT (UK) »

Cheshire / Help Please. Elias Jones 1863 born Birkenhead Cheshire

« on: Tuesday 04 November 14 09:36 GMT (UK) »

I am at a hair-pulling stage with a G Grandfather, Elias Jones 1863 born Birkenhead Cheshire and spent his life in Everton Liverpool. I have him marrying Mary Watson in 1883 St Peter Liverpool I have him on the 1891/1901 and 1911 census all stating he was born in Birkenhead. All these appear to be the same person but I cannot find a sniff of hm before the 1883 marriage. Is there a genius out there who can give me a pointer.

Lancashire / John and Maria Grierson.

« on: Tuesday 13 December 11 23:01 GMT (UK) »

I am trying to collect information of Griersons living in Scotland Road Everton about 1880/85.
Then about 1885/86, Maria married John Pritchard.
The Grierson children were John,Bertha Lily and Joseph Stanley.
The Pritchard children were
William (Billy), Ellen Ann (auntie Nell) and Mary Catherine ( my Grandma). I would like to know what happened to William. They possibly lived in Nursery St or Skirving st.

Billy.
