Are you sitting comfortably ? then I'll begin !!

Emily's maiden name was Richards .....

the page before starts with the Cottrill family 70 Rockfield Road

Then there's all these seemingly seperate families .... so how could Robert be a classed as a Grandson ..... ?? or am I being obtuse ??

I still can't believe you got that Julia !!

so how could Robert be a classed as a Grandson ..... ??

Emily is listed as "Daur" so I'd assume that the nearest "Head" above her on the page is her parent. Which takes us to Elizabeth ... Pritchard? Could be "Richards" badly transcribed by the enumerator??

hello Annie
just catching up with messages , noticed  Rockfield Road is mentioned , that is at the  other end of Anfield Road  next to Blessington Road were I lived for 11 years  and  is only a short walk from Watford Rd , have asked around this morning to see if  anyone remembers the family but no luck up to now

Well .... I've been through the births between 1921 - 1928 and can't find any with the mothers maiden name of Grant !! the only one that is a possibility is with the maiden name of Stead in 1926 !!
( I only say possibility ..... as one of mine had the same name because the father - when asked for mother's name - gave his own mother !! )

I wish somebody was a member of Liverpool Genealogy and could look up the member who's researching Stead 

Otherwise .... I'm stuck !! 

Thanks Doreen for your input and for looking !!

[Wendi]

I looked for more info on sister Norah - can't see a marriage for a Nora Stead in Liverpool from 1912 - 18.

The only birth I can find is for a Nora May Stead recorded in West Derby in 1893, but the 1901 census leads me to think it's not her & I can't find one in 1894 in Liverpool 

Otherwise .... I'm stuck !! 

Don't you dare Girlfriend  - What about an obit in the local paper if he did die 1930 it would mention something wouldn't it 

Wendi 

[liverpool annie]

Well PSB very kindly PM'd me the email address of the person researching "Stead " on the Liverpool Genealogy board .... so I've sent one off !!

Fingers crossed !!

Now then Miss Wendi ..... I guess I need to get in touch with the Liverpool Echo for an obit huh ?? 

Ok ! I'll try it !! ...... ( me pipes are frozen this morning - 0 degrees here ..... and so is my brain !!  )

[Wendi]

Frozzed pipes oooch 

I guess I need to get in touch with the Liverpool Echo for an obit huh ?? 

And while your at it ask 'em if they'll print a "looking for" letter if you email 'em one
