The Mahers- Liverpool
« on: Thursday 08 April 21 15:33 BST (UK) »
I am trying to research Anthony Maher (deceased).

Born approx Feb 1938 in Liverpool.
Married Teresa Kelly in July 1959.
Died in Telford, Shropshire approx 2010.


I then want to go back in his family tree as there is no one I know who is related who can advise.

Thank you.

This looks possible:

Anthony MAHER death registered Mar qtr 1938
Liverpool South RD
Mother's Maiden Name:   MORAN
Volume Number:   8b
Page Number:   444

Have you thought about ordering his marriage certificate? That would give you his father and make everything a lot easier.

Queenie  :)

EDIT: Do you know whether he had a sister? There is a Maureen Maher born in 1942 in Liverpool to a mother named MORAN.

You may want to take a look at the 1939 register entry for Anthony Maher born February 1933.  Given the uncertainty about his birthyear

1939 lookups are not allowed so we cannot post further details

No - he was born 1938 per death reg on GRO online

1924 marriage on freebmd - James E Maher/Mary B Moran could be his parents but you need his 1959 marriage cert to confirm

Looks possible that 2 daughters were born to the 1959 marriage

I can see
Anthony Maher born 1st February 1938 with a James E Maher and Mary B Maher in 1939.
As suggested earlier, you really need to get Anthony's marriage certificate to see if his father was called James.

Hi @Mike-Cam,

Yes, Teresa's parents were James (Jimmy) Gerard Kelly and Rose (Rosie) Ann McElwee.
Do you have a connection or a lead?

Do you know if Anthony had any brothers?
Are you related to him?
