in search of the Peers family
Hi, I am trying to trace a family in the name of Peers - my nana's name was Lilian Askew (nee Peers) and she has just died this year in her 90th year. She used to work at the crawfords biscuit factory in Liverpool and once lived down in 36 Dodge Street with her mum and siblings. Her siblings were Walter and Mary (emigrated to America with her husband, surname Diamond) by her father and his first wife Amy Lynch then Lily's father remarried to a woman with the surname of Summers (Lily's mother called herself Mary but can't find any proof, but I have come up with a name like Bridget). However, Mary and lily's father had more children, Ellen (Nellie) (married Walter), Evelyn (married to a Stanley Lawson) and Tom. Lily's father's name was Thomas, and he was a painter and decorator / paperhanger and had died sometime in 1931 but I can't trace him either. Please can anyone help me, thank you.
Hello Danbi. I am your Uncle Tom's Daughter

Hello Danbi, My Brother has just told me about this thread.
So sorry about Aunty Lil's death. She was an absolute sweetheart and such a character.
Who is your parent, Cas Shirley or Trevor?
I have some information inasmuch as Your Nans Mother was definitely Mary and my Sister was named after her. I remember being taken to visit her in Dodge Street when I was a child. Uncle Walter lived in the next street which was Wynne Street
You have given me some information that I did not know. I knew that Thomas was a Painter and Decorator but not his name.
I knew that Aunty May and Uncle Walter were step siblings, but I always assumed that they were Grans children from a previous marriage and not Thomas's. Uncle Walter had a Son called Eric as I recall. May's Husband was called Jack Diamond and they had three children. A girl called Mary and two boys. Theywill be a good age now
