Hi Lisa,

l am hoping l could take you up on your kind offer.

A marriage in 1932 mar qtr. Bolton  for a John Fulford and ? Groves FreeBMD only has groves  no initial so l am hoping this is my grandmothers elusive brother and his wife, the only way l will be able to tell is by the first name (fingers crossed).

Many thanks

Lisa,

Thanks for the offer on the elusive 2 children.  I have dob's for both children, (Albert McGown b. 1886 and Peter McGown b.1888) both registered in West Derby and they show in the 1891 Census. I have searched the death indexes with no success so they must still be alive by 1901, however I have been unable to find them in the 1901 Census and need to look more closely. As the youngest kids, I am thinking they may be in school somewhere as most of their older siblings, with exception of David, have already left England.  I think the parents may also be deceased by 1901.  This may be one for the boards later on but I need to do more digging first.

Thanks again,
Joellen

Hi all, I'm off out now, but I went to the records office earlier and got most of them, I'm actually going on Monday as well so I'll have all of them by then. I'll send PMs to everybody who I've done in the next few days, I just need to get everything organised!

Jan, I can do a lookup as I'm off Monday - I still have quite a few to get through, also I can't get death certificates, you'll have to order it, I think they're about £7. I can only do [editted] burials, do you know which church.

Lisa.
