Sorry Bobby, but I have now tracked the James O'Brien I mentioned and he did not have any children.

That's great? Is there a specific newspaper I need to look for?

Elijah Sanderson
My great grandfather lived in Dalton and worked on the railway there and my grandfather was born there. I have just come across an In Memoriam card in amongst my fathers things. Apparently he died on January 28th 1904 after an accident on the Furness railway the previous day and although I have tried to find out about it I am unable to discover what the accident that Elijah had was. I wondered if anyone local would know how I could find out what happened.

Thanks for that. I think I will try and send the certificate back and see if they have looked at the wrong reference.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Family grave O'BRIEN
« on: Friday 15 January 10 20:55 GMT (UK) »
Soe time ago someone kindly found the grave of my Catholic grandparents at Ford Cemetery. I sent for details and the details I got back were invaluable.
This was some time ago and now I have discovered through the 1911 census other relatives in the family both of whom died in the 1919 flu epidemic. This indicates that there is a second family grave but I dont know how to go about finding it.
There was Christopher O'Brien born 25/12/1910 died 22/02/1919 aged 8. He died in the Walton Institution Infirmary. His aunt who lived at 25 Elizabeth Road Orrell died 16/02/1919. I think Christopher lived at the same address as this is where I found him in the 1911 census. Finding the family grave would hopefully help fill in so many unanswered questions about the rest of my family.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Liverpool Records office O'BRIEN
« on: Friday 15 January 10 20:35 GMT (UK) »
My grandmother Ann O'Brien had an illigitimate son Thomas and I have been unable to track down the birth certificate.
I sent off to the GRO index for a certificate I thought might be the right one from July/Aug/Sept 1918 but based on the GRO numbers West Derby 8b 511 got a birth certificate for a Thomas O'Brien born on 24th December 1917 and registered on 16th January 1918!!
From reading the Lancashire bmd website I understand that not all details have been transcribed correctly to the GRO and that the Liverpools record office have the actual originals.
Having sent for over five copies of certificates so far I am getting very frustrated.
Is there any way I can find the correct certificate details so I can send for the certificate please? His birth date is recorded on the death certificate as 22nd September 1920 but I cant find it in the GRo indexes so have been working backwards from that date.
His mother is Ann O>Brien born in 1889. She was living at 25 Elizabeth Road in the West Derby area of Liverpool. Her third son was born in the Walton workhouse/hospital but her first son was born at home.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
