if you order the marriage cert you would find out the fathers of thomas and bertha and also their occupations
we could then probably find them on earlier censuses
in the meantime i will try to find a bertha taylor born abt 1892 in prescot on the 1901

william taylor age 6. b. ditto. son
samuel taylor age 1. b. oldham. son

on the 1911 census bertha is in prescot
with her is her parents mary and edward sibling samuel the other son william is not there
there might be others as well but without looking at the actual image i cannot be sure
plus we are not allowed to do full look ups for 1911
you could look for yourself but to see the actual images it is a pay per veiw site

Hi,

Did your nan Bertha die in 1977?  There is a Crematorium record for a Bertha Gorman on 28th March, 1977.  Matching this with the GRO Death  indexes this Berthas date of birth is given as 21st April, 1893.
