hello Gnomie

many thanks for this offer. I am trying to find out where Wiiliam Japha is buried. He died in 1891 (June I think). I believe he was living in Everton at the time (47 Village street?)

Never been sure how to look up burial places

many thanks for your help

denis

Hi Denis
I don't know where he was buried but was wondering if you need his details from 1881,
there is a William John Japha b Germany 1820 & in 1881 he's at 3 Aubrey st Everton ,
give us a shout if you want/need the rest of the details .

Died aged 71 in June 1891 West Derby, 8B 306.

Luv Karen

Hi Denis
If you phone Liverpool Direct they take calls on behalf of cemertries,
if you give them his Full name & date of death they may be able to locate
where he is , they'll ask what relation if any you are & also require your e mail .

Good luck
Karen

Hi. I was wondering if you still do look ups at the records office? If you do, could you let me know as i seem to have come to a dead end (pardon the pun)! Only i live in Devon so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ally

Hi,
Was wondering what sort of things can you look up and could i also ask for some help:):)
Kind Regards
Jo

Hi Jodie

This is their site http://www.liverpool.gov.uk/Leisure_...tage/index.asp

It has details of records held.

Just ask for help as somebody may look for you.

There is a genealogy section on this forum

Good Luck :PDT11

Hello Jo.

If you're in Liverpool. Join the records office search room with two utilities bills then ask for the street photos index and enjoy.......

Maybe we could talk about what you can look through. i was put onto the workhouse book records. unbelievable book with incredible info. and yes my 2 ancestors where there. but being related to me they absconded after 2 days. they where aged 7 and 9. what a different world we live in.

hi, if you still go to the record office could you poss look for a birth for me, i have found a christening for this person, but i need the actual birth, he was christened in st peters april 1819, i should think he was in that parish when born, he is john sephton (sefton) born 1819 liverpool. i only know his father was edward sephton (stonemason) i travelled up to liverpool record office some time ago and just did not have time to look for it with everything else i needed, i would much appreciate it, c sephton.

Hi if anyone is going can you look up a marraige for me ?, not sure where they married but it was possibly St Cleopas in the Dingle !, George Thomas and Margaret Roe, June 1934 and the reference is 8B 134 (if that helps), I really want to know who the two witness are on the certificate.
Thanks in advance ! :hug:

Albion Street...yer won't find a photoy of it anywhwere.

No chance of a photoy George :)

Does anybody know how to trace references to family members in the Music Hall business from 1901 onwards?

I have 2 members of my family who were both music hall atristes and agents (depending on the year). They were both named FREDERICK FELLOWS, but on the 1901 census they were living at 67 Rokeby St (Everton) and going by the name POOLE.

I'm wondering if this was a stage name, but by 1908 they were back to Fellows on records. They then moved to 33 Rupert Hill by 1911.

There is one refernce to Fred Snr being a comedian, and family tales of dog performing. I'm all googled out and still hitting a brick wall.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Claire

Hi Gnomie
l was wondering if next time you visit the records office if you have access to the Brownlow Hill Workhouse Records could you do a look up for me please.
Peter Logan born 3/5/1910 father John logan mother Mary Catherine Logan formerly Maguire.

When I first started doing my family history (and I must admit my wife's family are much more interesting than mine) I joined a number of family history societies, but found I was buying fiches and CDs just to find one entry, and the family then moved on to another area. Its a pity there's no sort of Federal membership, so you can join one society (probably your local one so you can go to meetings) and then have access to all the others. If it was reciprocal it shouldn't cost that much more.

John

I agree with what your saying, I started my family history over 10 years ago and spent 100's joining Ancestry and Findmypast etc.

Most of the stuff I actually found is freely available nowadays through FreeBMD and local Church records online etc.

It can cost a fair bit.

They dont tell you on the subscription sites that unless you know what your doing then your wasting your time.

The Merseyside Genealogy and History forum is a good place to join if your just starting out. Good tips on there for research. Get to know a little before you subscribe.

And take the Free trials.

I owe what I know about my family history to a nice bloke not a million miles away from here :)

Thanks again mate. :PDT11

My thanks to the above poster's! I too spent a fair amount on 'Find My Past.' and wasted most of it on 'searches'! just for the names and districts. Only one certain result achieved!

I had been looking for details of my Great Grandparents marriage details for years and years, and I was convinced because I couldn't find them that they must've been living 'over the brush'.

I discovered a brand new Liverpool site last week detailing Roman Catholic Marriages in Liverpool, and half heartedly typed there names in.

Boy I was gobsmacked when there details popped up!

I guess they only cared about the Catholic marriage, because they never went the CofE service (as all Catholics at the time had to do to make there marriage 'legal' in England), and thats why they are missing from official records.

A bit OT, what form of records do LRO use /
is it microfiche, 35mm film, 16mm film or what.
I know they have the record books, having spent hours looking at them

Steve

The Central Library will be closed for a couple of years: does this mean the Records Office will be inaccessible during that time, and if so, is there any alternative provided?

They are moving it to another place so access will still be available, don't know where... yet...

Hi
paper records will not be available, those on film should be OK

Steve

Microfilm/fishe being moved next door to the Museum.

Search room photos being moved to a unit at Wellington Employment Park, Sandhills Lane. 24 hours notice of visit required.

hi, i could use your help. I'm trying to find out if 38 grey road,liverpool, was a private residence or other. If private, who were the residents in 1967-68.
thanks for your help.

Gnomie - Thanks very much for the link I have been on & posted some details fingers crossed someone can help. Any tips on find out more on the family tree very much appreciated. I have been lucky enough to have quite a few birth/death & Marriage certs to help but still hard going & a bit stuck now not really knowing how to look further back in time !

Thanks again x
(your likely to hear from me in the future in my hours of dispair !!)
