looking for info on George Burrows from Liverpool
« on: Tuesday 20 July 04 23:05 BST (UK) »
I am looking for any info on my father-in-law, his name was George Burrows born 16th sept 1903/4 all we know is that he was born somewhere in Liverpool, we have reason to believe he left a wife and children behind when he left liverpool and moved to the London/Essex erea about 1940, We tried to find a birth certificate for him but we have so little to go on,
Any info or tips would be great,
Regards, Jackie.

Hi Jackie,

The FreeBMD is still being compiled,  so it is possible his record is not in the index yet.  Also you should bear in mind that the dates given are the quarters in which the birth was registered,  not the birth date.

Good luck with your search,
