Hi Janet Yes, very short odds, I imagine. Unless Alexander had psychic powers and presented himself at the registery office immediately before his demise and sorted the paperwork out to save his family the trouble..... Or he could have had a twin brother of the same name? I'm putting my money on his psychic powers and hoping they passed down the line to you so that you can sort all our brick walls out. Or let me have next weeks lottery numbers so that I can get on with my family research without the hindrance of having to turn up for work five days a week.

That's me in a very small nutshell!!

I'm only sorry that up to now I haven't seen any names that I can help with, let alone fit into my own tree! But it's great to see so many listers writing in, and to see where they actually live. Marged Great idea, Marged! I think we all live in hope that a new member will come along and break our brick walls down. I'm researching the following in Liverpool (Everton and West Derby): HARRISON POWER GUY IRVING The following are my Staffordshire side, but I wonder if there are any possible Liverpool links as I often wonder why my father went from Stoke on Trent to Liverpool to find work (and met my mother, probably at the Grafton):

Thanks for that offer in Herefordshire, Gordon. Yes, I have traced his paternal grandfather, who was a signalman on the Great Western Railway, and a one-time gardener in a great house. Marged Your husband's probably like me, Marged - when Wales win the Rugby Championship he's Welsh but when England win the World cup or the Ashes he's English! Have you ever been able to trace his paternal grandfather's birth in Herefordshire, by the way? I still pop back down there every now & again to visit my eldest daughter + 3 grandchildren, so if you could ever do with a look-up in the Hereford RO just give me the nod.

I am researching the Withers family. They originated in Buckinghamshire, but one son, Isaac Tobias (b 1846) left and married and settled in Liverpool. If anyone has any connection to the above, I would be delighted to hear. Regards, Anne.

Hello to everyone, my name is Fran and I am looking for BRYAN/BRIAN in Everton, and Birkenhead ARCHER Havnt got to far it has taken me 2 years to trace them from Cardiff to Liverpool and on to Preston thanks Fran

Hi everyone, I am Dorothy in Florida, I go back about 6/7 years on these Lists. I was born in Bootle --and so were our children. Our grandkids are American though and want us to live near them so they can take us to school for "Show and tell"!! In fact , it was Marged who first found what turned out to be one of my relatives, but I just didn't have the connection at that time. Turned out that my Grandma's Widowed Aunt married my Grandmas husbands (My grandfather) Widowed brother. --Got it????? Anyway, I am looking for ROACH ---Devon- Liverpool. Although I just found out that my great great grandfather Alexander Roach was from Fifeshire. (From Muster Rolls of ships he was on when he married in 1801) BOLTON, --- Liverpool, Melling McKEOWN--and assorted spellings --Liverpool and Scotland or Ireland --depending which census you believe. DUKE---London then Liverpool from 1829 I also have MIREHOUSE, RAWES, GOODWIN Happy Thanksgiving to all Dorothy

Marged, Thanks for hosting this list! * My interests are: PERKES ( Dudley Worcestershire, aka Perks back to pre-1800) COLEY (Emma, from Shropshire) By 1861 my PERKES were in Liverpool. My g-g grandfather's sister Emma PERKES (b. ca 1861) married a "Dave" PORTHOUSE in about 1881. The PORTHOUSES seemed to have been from Liverpool. To say, by 1907 this line of Perkes had emigrated to Hamilton Ontario Canada. With a nephew Tom PORTHOUSE. In case this helps anyone. ***************************************** Carolyn Perkes (Montréal, Québec, Canada)

More of my omitted English names :- BROWNE (Burton 15/1600's) WILSON (Burton/Willaston 16/1700's) Included in the latter is Thomas WILSON (b1663 Burton) who was Bishop of Sodor & Man 1697/1755.
