Hi ShaunJ,

Thank you so much for that information, it is amazing!

My dad always told me that they were from Angelsey, that is why I thought his father Edward Owen was born there.

The information you supplied is priceless to our family.

Hi,

On the "Ancestry" web site there is a family tree that shows a photo of William Owen (1833-1908) - it also says that he married Anne Spencer on 4 Feb 1856.

There is also a photo of Edwards birth certificate for 19 Feb 1864 - there seems to be several family trees and if you were an Ancestry member you would be able to contact the tree owners.

Hi Shaunj,

Yes my dad was named Harold and we have a date of birth for him:- 27th January 1909.

In addition also found an Ellen Owen who was 17-months old when she died and was buried on the
6th April 1894 with her address given as 49 Woodruff Street, Toxteth Park.
