Ruth, Thanks for your e-mail. My confusion arose from the fact that I had birth registrations for this area from both Wirral and Birkenhead. It turns out that the ones that were from Wirral were before the Birkenhead district was created in 1861. Now that I realize this it seems pretty obvious.

Hi there, I'm new to the list and desperately needing either advice or, if not, consolation. I've spent years searching for the marriage and births of Ann(e) MURPHY and James HAYES. The only thing that I have been able to come up with is the 1881 census. This states that Ann was born around 1845 in Birkenhead and James was born around 1829 in Bolton, Lancs. As there is such an age difference, and their eldest child Joseph wasn't born until 1875, I wondered if perhaps James had been married before. The census returns were for Barnsley, WRY. where all their children were born and seemingly stayed. Joseph is my Gt.Grandfather. I have searched the I.G.I. and have come up with a James Hayes born in 1829 at Peel-by-Bolton in 1829 and think that this could be the one, but until I get my hands on the marriage certificate then I can't prove it. Any suggestions will be welcomed with open arms as I am completely out of ideas, in fact nearly brain-dead. I could not find the marriage on the St. Cath's indexes. I've searched several times but think it must have been missed off. Desperately hoping, Janet Drury. From Leicester.

I am researching the following names - BANKS : Stretton (Cheshire), Manchester (Lancs) BRADBURY : Lymm (Cheshire) BROWNBILL : St Helens (Lancs) CALLAGHAN : St Helens (Lancs), Ireland GABRIEL : St Helens (Lancs), Liverpool (Lancs) GRATWICH : Barlaston (Staffs) HIGHAM : Lymm (Cheshire), Leigh (Lancs) JEFFS : Waverton (Cheshire) JOHNS(T)ON : Wallasey (Cheshire), Birkenhead (Cheshire), Hull (East Riding), Tynemouth (Northumberland), Hebburn/Chester-le-Street (Northumberland) JONES : Whitchurch (Shrops) LOWE : Pulford (Cheshire) MILLER : Lymm (Cheshire), Grappenhall (Cheshire) MOSTON : Lymm (Cheshire) NORBURY : Liverpool (Lancs) PERCIVAL : Lymm (Cheshire), Antrobus (Cheshire) RICHARDSON : Barthomley (Cheshire), Church Lawton (Cheshire), Crewe (Cheshire) TABERN : St Helens (Lancs) WILLIAMSON : Cheshire WOOTTON : Barlaston (Staffs), Moddershall (Staffs), Stone (Staffs) I would be pleased to hear from anyone with similar interests.

I am searching for Anne MURPHY b. <1845> in Birkenhead. She married James HAYES who was b. <1829> in Bolton LAN. I think this was possibly James 2nd marriage and Ann's 1st. Joseph their eldest child was b. 1875 in Barnsley WRY. I can find neither their marriage or births. If someone could throw some light on this mystery then I would be most pleased, in fact ecstatic. Thanking you, Janet

Hello List, For some time I had been trying to find out what V.B.C.E. stood for. I think I have the answer now. I was told Volunteer Battalion, Royal Corps of Engineers. My Grandfather James FULTON born 1883 Birkenhead, Eng. spent 3 years with them in Birkenhead, before coming to Canada. He married here in 1910. He joined the Canadian Army here and was killed at Ypres 1916. For his trade he put down lineman . Could he have learnt this with the V.B.C.E.?? I am trying to find when he may have come to Canada, so if anyone can tell me anything about this group and what age group it may be. Or perhaps if they may be records I can check into. Any help would truely be appreciated. I also was given the information this V.B.C.E Battalion changed in 1908 to Territorial Force. Thank You for any light you may be able to put on this. Pat. BAKEWELL (nee FULTON ) searching for FULTON, FOGG, BROWN, CUMMINGS

During my Bryan research for Burnley I noted down dozens of births, deaths and marriages for Bryan people. Due to a lack of progress with my Burnley ancestors I began looking in other places incase any of my Bryans ended up elsewhere. This led me to several contacts all of whom are researching their ancestors with the surname Bryan from Birkenhead/Wirral areas. The list below are only names that have cropped up and have been linked to the surname of Bryan, I am not related to any of them as far as I know as my Bryan ancestors were mainly from Burnley, Bury, Barrowford. Other surnames that have cropped up for BIRKENHEAD are and this is just a short list! - ARMISTEAD, ASHLEY, BANTON, BISHOP, BRADY,BRYSON,BRYANT, CASSIDY, CAMERON, CONLAN, CORNING, DAVIES,DOYLE, EASON,FAWCETT, GEORGALA, GALLOWAY, GREEN, GROSE, HALL, HANCOCK, HAYWARD, JONES, JOHNSON, KENYON, LLOYD, McDoWELL, McNAMARA,MILLER, NIVEN, OWEN, ROBINSON, SMITH,TAYLOR,TUCK, PLEAVIN,WREN,WISE, WILKINSON, WALKER,WATKINSON. I have contacts who are connected to some of those names. So can you claim a Bryan link? Brenda Wirral

I have just sent a new 'subscribe' message as I think I may have become detached from the list. Please let me know if the re-subscribe does not work (that's if you get to see this in the first place!). Many thanks, Regards, Gil Upton www.tranmereroversbooks.com
