Sylvia, Do you have any connections with Bessie, William or Didie Hughes c.1920-2005 from the Liverpool area? Don't know if it could be Toxteth Park or not though. Regards, Lynn Albion, CA. USA
I hope that memory is not deceiving me, I thought that Breck Rd. led to Everton Rd. ( at the top ) that Anfield Cemetary was also off Breck Rd. I left Liverpool in the late fifties. Can anyone else help.?
This is West Derby Road, although a small section close to Lower Breck Road is called Rocky Lane.

Trying to trace Harrisons in Liverpool! Been trying to trace my wifes family in Liverpool. We have her dads dob as 17/08/1910 but the GRO can find no trace of him. We were returning to home in North Yorkshire after the Tsunami match yesterday when my wife mentioned that a particular church and bus stop looked familiar to her from some 30 years ago when she used to visit her fathers sister Rose. We knew Rose lived in the late 1960`s early 70`s around the Anfield area but that was all. She passed away we think in 1974 and was followed within days by her husband, Bill? They had a son called Wally. Can anyone please confirm that if you were approaching the Lower Breck Road junction with the A5049 from the city that there is a church on the corner with a bus stop some 5-10 yds away from the corner. Just need confirmation that this is the right junction so we can come back at a later date. Many thanks Mike Scanlan
Thank you to Kathy in the Wirral for suggesting the > https://www.familyrelatives.org/treequest/jsp/customer/index.jsp site. Just wondering if anyone has any "units" for the site that they are not going to use before they expire?????????? (2 units is the cost to view the greyscale image) I am sure I have found my great grandfathers death record, and would like to see the image.

Hi Kathy, on a long shot, I have a Henry WRENN married to Ann HAYMAN. Son to this couple was Cecil WRENN born 13 may 1881, and married to Christien Mary BROWN (born 29 Nov 1880) in 1912. Cecil's occ is shown as that of a Shipbroker. His death occurred on 4 Jan 1955 in Rottingdean, Sussex. Cecil appears to have married his second cousin. Christien Mary BROWN's parents were John James BROWN and Faith HOLMAN.
