My previous thread on the Lambs brought some interesting finds.

I was watching the WDYTYA? Jonnie Peacock which discussed the Liverpool docks.  Fazakerley was also mentioned in that programme.

I had heard this name before, and on checking my tree, realised that it was the birthplace of J W Lamb's second daughter.

I have obtained her birth certificate - details as follows:

6 June, 1888 Fazakerley R.S.D.(Not sure what that means?)
Name:Martha Lamb
Father: John William Lamb, Mother Margaret, formerly Cropper.
John described as Blacksmith, address given as Fazakerley.

Martha's siblings were mainly born in Bickerstaffe, where her parents married (in 1884) and where they are recorded on the 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses.

So, what is the connection with Fazakerley? This is a new one on me.

Would appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks.

I'm looking for Thomas Charles TAYLER born Bow, Middx, 18 Feb 1874.

I have found baptism (1874) and school entry record (1880), and census entries for 1881, 1891.

Then I begin to struggle!  There is a suggestion of US Social Security Application for a Thomas Charles Tayler, but I don't have that access.  Did he go  to US, in that case my UK records go cold, or is he wrongly transcribed as TAYLOR, which makes the search a bit bigger!

Thanks in anticipation.

Would appreciate some help here, please.

William Iveson,  B 1885 St Helens, Lancashire - missing 1911

I must be missing something, but the search is just not working.

Parents, John Iveson 1834 - 1900:  Mother Isabella (nee Cropper)1848 - 1902

Thank you.

In November I posted a message about a relative who appeared to have disappeared without trace.  There was such a positive response, leading to not only finding the relative, but also his family that I knew nothing of. I am most grateful to all those who had a hand in sorting them out for me.

I am now looking at my other brick wall, which has defeated me for a number of years. This involves two people - a father, JAMES LAMB and his son, JOHN (JOHN WILLIAM) LAMB.(1862? - 1939)  I will list what I have, and hope that someone can point me in the right direction.

Marriage: 31 December 1884 in Bickerstaffe, Lancashire
John William Lamb and Margaret Cropper (both aged 22 years)
The father of John Lamb is given as James Lamb, occupation Moulder.  There is no indication whether he is still alive at this date.

I have John Lamb on the 1881 census in Bickerstaffe, where he is an apprentice blacksmith.  Place of birth is given as Liverpool. I also have him on all following available censuses up to and including 1911. I have traced in detail the children of John and Margaret and subsequent generations.

John William Lamb - Death: July/Aug/Sep 1939 Age 77 (I have sent for a copy of the death certificate)

I would love to get back in time to John's parents - this is the brick wall, which may lead to finding the rest of the family.

 I may have missed the obvious last time around, or it may be that the information was not available on the internet then.  (It was only looking at the 1939 that led me to suspect I had found my last missing relative, but sadly, John died in 1939 before the register was  compiled).

Any help on this one would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I am sure this has been asked before - so apologies!  Have decided that the 1939 Register might be the next logical step in my research (having exhausted the 1911 census information, and too impatient to wait for the availability of the 1921 census). 

Am I right in saying the only way to access this fully is through Find My Past?

Also, does Find My Past have any information on India?  I have promised a very dear friend that I will look into her family history, which starts in India.

Thanks.
