I need to see if any of these John Edward's served in the Armed Forces ( mmm 2 World Wars ) and lived at Wykeham Street as well as Married Catherine Dowell and then back track from there again.  Another small clue was my father William claimed once that maybe he was born in India but all Army paperwork says Kirkdale Liverpool, also said he had a brother called John who died in 1942 in Africa ( El Haifa ) My father was also in Africa during the was as well, but I've never found any one of that name in the war graves either, and he was known to bend the truth a little

I was basing my findings on this info from the ManxBMD.com
Birth, Marriage and Death Indexes for the Isle of Man

1878    Christian    John Edward    Peel    A1    46

As there was no other John Edward CHristian born on the IOM then

I found Catherine Dowell on North Isles Family History, (this also had her brother Andrew also at the same address and later they both lived at Wykeham Street, Kirkdale which I think tied up the correct people ) ( I hope ) and I looked up the address in Liverpool she lived at on 1891 census saying she was a resident at 33 Tillard St, Kirkdale, Liverpool, and Also the UKBMD index showing the marriage of John E Christian and Catherine Dowell in 1906 in Kirkdale

John e
The william 1851-1922 and catherine 1854-? I found has john edward as son and also william henry and thomas hope this helps to clear it up a little

I'm trying to find my maternal grandmothers grave, I spoke to my 90 year old mother who thinks its either Ilford or Barkingside.  I'm thinking more of Ilford St Marys at the moment as the family home adddress was 340b High Road Ilford as written on the death certificate.  Her name was Elener Jane Norris and she died on 13/09/1946 aged 54.  Registration district of Ilford.  I think the death certificate was registered on the 14/03/1947.  I'm told the grave had a teak cross on it but as it was over 70 years ago proberly not there any more.  Any Help would be gratefully recieved as My mother doesn't know much else

Thanks
