Gibbons/Barclays/Birkenhead
« on: Friday 13 July 12 18:36 BST (UK) »
Hoping for some information on the following persons during their lives in Birkenhead.

Amy L. Gibbons, b. 1887 Liverpool, UK.  d. September, 1948.

Siblings Gordon Gibbons, b. 1918 Canada, d. 1987 Cheshire, i think in Birkenhead.

Dorothy Gibbons b. 1916 Canada, d.1997, Cheshire, again, i think in Birkenhead.

I know Dorothy married on the Wirral in June 1948 to an Eric C. Barclay.  (there's been a few different spellings for Eric, eg  Barkle and Barkley) I think the C stands for Callender.

Ideally i should like to know where they lived, their occupations and  did either of the siblings have children.

There was a suggestion that Dorothy may have been involved with the military in some way.

Thanks for that information JJen, ive seen the 1922 trip from Montreal but not the trip from Argentina.  Certainly a well travelled family!

There are two births for Barkley children with mother who had maiden name  Gibbons.
I will send a personal message to you as they may still be living.
