Hi - I am trying to find out what happened to Robert C Alsop, born in Liverpool on 28 December 1943.  His sister last saw him when he joined the army in around 1959.  His father was Robert Alsop, (who changed his name to Paul Ducroq & went off to Australia) and his mother was Edna May Worrall.  They were married in Q1 of 1943, we think, possibly in Worcestershire.  So far the only thing I have managed to  unearth about Robert C Alsop is the registration of his birth, (Liverpool South, Q1, 1943), but he appears to disappear after joining the army.  We are assuming he has passed away, although can find nothing to prove or disprove that.  Any help would be great.

   

Hi Lesley, I will try and find some info for you but am away fro the next couple of weeks but will be back in touch. Di

Hi there, good news - I have been to Lancashire RO today and found some names for you. I have started to transcribe the will but ran out of time, however most of it is there and definitely his family are named.

If you PM me and send your email address I will email the document containing the names. If you would like the rest I will finish it next time I go; ran out of time today sorry.

The Will is dated 8 Feb 1849 and it would appear James died 27 Dec 1850. The will was proved 13 May 1851

Regards
Di

Hi Goldie
Yes I can certainly take a look and see if I can get hold of them. I will be going next week and will research these boxes if possible. I'm not sure what the fee is for photography but will let you know

That's no problem Romilly, I'm planning on going next week as I'm only 20 mins away! I am logged in but cannot see any images unless I follow Jon's link

I am able to research records held at the Lancashire Records Office in Preston. Please provide as much information as possible to assist in my quest to help you.
