Hi Andrea well i am sorry to say that after looking through 3 years of burials for Rake lane. There wasnt any macnabs at all in the cemetary 4 the years 1934/5/6.It was the first time i had used those records and i was asked what religion the family was. It seems different ones are seperate. I was then asked if the burial was cemetary or church grave yard. It dawned on me after all these years the difference between the two   these again are seperate records.The Town hall did not have the St Caths death index as i suspected. The only place that i know of that has the complete St/c/I is Liverpool. Where you will definitely find the death of thomas. once you know where he died and the date. I may be able to look for the burial again. My Grandad was on the record but i knew when he died. if i had known about those burial records three years ago i wouldnt have worn a groove in the cemetary path  :)after spending 2 years previously looking for his grave On the record it gives the reference number.I have seen numbers on the very bottom of some grave stones so maybe they are connected. name, age, plot number, and i think occupation.I was suprised it also gave an address not a full one. and the name of the person that conducted the service. so that's very helpfull, there is a member of roots chat that  knows who goes to liverpool .cant remember who

hmm.....I came from Newcastle in the North East of England origionally and we have a Rake Lane cemetery too! it's in North Shields. If you have no luck in the Liverpool area then check that one out too. North Shields is on the North side of the River Tyne entrance and a well known fishing port

Just a thought *grin* seeing as you mentioned your relative being a mariner

Hello Adele If you have read this topic you will see i havent been much help to Anrea. so have left a message for her for when she comes back. I have a gut feeling though that the family might have moved on. beacause i found deaths in stockport. from 1929. It's handy to know that there is another Rake Lane cemetery though.

Peter thanks for the reminder Will leave that to Andrea

Hi Celia...and Adele....thank you for all your help...and time..
I know my Ggrandfather lived in Seacombe in 1901 as it says so on the census...and his daughter(my grandmother) Isabel(Leonora, my mother was born there) and also two of his sons all continued  living in Seacombe as well...one of the sons Frederick worked for Camel Laird shipbuilders.
My cousin Julie said her grandfather and his father were buried in the cemetery..Earlston cemetery in Liscard/Wallasey, which I found was Rake Lane.
I dont know of any other explanation other than maybe Thomas and Leonora were buried in Liverpool..and what makes if worse is not knowing when they both died.
I will ask floridagirl if she can help....thank you so much for all the effort you have put in. Its lovely to know there are people out there that want to help.
Cheers
Andrea

Hi Andrea, I have been doing a bit of research for another person.also looking for a Mc in Cheshire this one in the late 1920's. As i was working my way back through the postal directorey for 1920/21 i came across
McNab.
Norman Steward 3 Alice Avenue Parry St Seacombe
In another postal book it was
3 Alice Avenue Andrew St Seacome.
In the Gores Directory for 1912 i came across
Mrs Isabella McNab 11 Chatsworth Avenue Walton.
The following one i cant remember which year book i found it in because the Mc i was looking for wasnt in the book.I didnt want to get confused so put it back on the shelf
McNab
Frederick Clark Fitter 34 Marion St Birkenhead

Thank you Celia...thats a great help...at least it shows that two of the sons lived nearby, one in Seacombe and the other in Birkenhead. I found a couple of births which could be Fredericks children only as they both have Clarke as a second name...I will keep looking tomorrow...
Good luck with your search.
Cheers and goodnight
Andrea

Hi Jan
