The Common Room / Missing 1910 Birth
« on: Wednesday 04 January 23 22:45 GMT (UK)  »
I have a bit of a problem to do with my grandmother. Born 28th March 1910, named Emma Muriel Poland (changed to Polland during WW1 to sound less Germanic). Parents were John Poland 1871 and Emily Hitchens 1875. Resident and born in Liverpool yet 1911 census states Emma was born in Liscard, Cheshire even though they were living in Liverpool and had no family in Liscard or the Wirral at all.
I have an Ancestry subscription but any search I do will not come up with a birth certificate for her. Known by her middle name  Muriel all her life, I just cannot pin down her birth. Could it be an adoption?
I'm not sure where to go next with this. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
With thanks

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Is this the same person
« on: Saturday 03 October 09 15:55 BST (UK)  »
Is there anybody out there that could give me thier expert opinion on these two photos. This is my great grandfather.  I would like to know either way whether the man in these two photographs is the same man maybe a few years apart. The darker picture was taken around 1912 the other probably before. The earlier picture i know is him for definate, i'm told by family the second one is him too but there is some doubt.
Anyone from c.s.i. out there? (ha ha! )
Cheers

Travelling People / Romany/Gypsy Camp in Birkenhead
« on: Monday 02 February 09 11:42 GMT (UK)  »
Has anybody any information about a semi-permenant gypsy camp in the New Ferry/Rock Ferry/Birkenhead area of Wirral/Cheshire in the early 1900's? The brick wall i have been running up against with my wifes maternal side of her family seems to be because the grandmother, as i have recently found, came from this gypsy camp.
I really have no idea where to start looking in this direction. I'm hoping some experienced hunters may be able to point me down the right road.
With thanks
