Mary Josephine CORBETT-LOWE was born in 1913 at Bromborough the daughter of William Sydney CORBETT-LOWE and Norah Dingwall BATESON who had married in Liverpool in 1907. The CORBETT-LOWE family home was 'Ashburton' on Manorial Road, Parkgate and later at Bidston Road, Oxton. Mary married Captain (later Lt Colonel) David Ronald HUNTER of the Liverpool Scottish Regiment at St Saviours, Oxton on 30th March 1940. I am interested in Mary's flying career in WWII. In 1939 she obtained her pilot's licence and during war was in the Air Transport Auxiliary. Does anyone know of her? David

Sorry but my earlier message seemed to have become a bit garbled, my fault; it should have read: Reference the message from Gordon below. He correctly quotes the ukbmd reference for Christchurch Barnston; however do I take this reference to indicate that the church does not have a churchyard with associated burial register?

Hi List I wondered if anyone could help with this poser. I have several marriages to look up at the aforementioned church but on a visit to Chester Record Offices I find that these have not been deposited at the CRO.

Hugh JONES was born in Holyhead in about 1851. In 1881 he married Mary Ellen EVANS, the daughter of John EVANS and Caroline JONES of Galton Street, Liverpool. Hugh and Mary moved to Seacombe firstly living at Tudor Avenue and then at Mersey View on the Promenade. Their children, who survived childhood, were John R JONES born about 1886, Hugh born about 1888, William Albert born about 1892 and Caroline born in 1887. I have the BMD and census information I need and am looking for descendants or others who know the family. David
