I am trying to find out who lived at 22 Beryl Road,Parkgate,Wirral in 1973 and wondered if anyone could please tell me where I might be able to view the register of electors for that year. IDue to distance I am unable to visit the area and am hoping that someone may have access to the voters roll for these years. Any help or advice much apreciated Many thanks Ann

Someone in Ireland has very kindly sent me a copy of the will of bachelor Thomas DELAMORE of Chester, grocer & tea dealer, who died in 1848 aged 48. The principal beneficiaries are his five DELAMERE brothers, namely John, William, Daniel, Joseph and Jonathan, plus his sister Mary, wife of John SMITH of Birkenhead. The only other beneficiary of any note is his spinster cousin Alice PENKETH, who received five £27-10s shares in the Birkenhead, Lancashire & Cheshire Junction Railway, a gold watch & chain, twelve silver teaspoons and a pair of silver sugar nippers. This cousin appears to identify the testator's parents as Daniel DELAMORE (b1774 Upton-in-Overchurch) and Mary PENKETH, who married on 15 December 1794 in Neston St Mary & St Helen. Mary's presumed sibling John PENKETH (b1774 Oxton) married Jane HUNTINGTON on 16 November 1803 in Neston St Mary & St Helen - the two witnesses being an Ann HUNTINGTON and a William DELAMORE. When Daniel DELAMORE (b1805 Blacon-cum-Crabhall) married Isabella HUNTINGTON (b1808 Raby) on 13 March 1838 in Liverpool St Nicholas (almost 35 years later) the two witnesses were, coincidentally, a John PENKETH and a Jane HUNTINGTON! Daniel (b1774 Upton-in-Overchurch) is believed to have been the eldest son of John DELAMORE (b1753 Upton-in-Overchurch) who married Sarah BROWN on 28 September 1773 in West Kirby St Bridget. Hope this might be of some use to anyone with these names in their family tree. Regards Gordon

Just testing. I sent a message to the list at 10:40pm yesterday (subject DELAMORE/PENKETH/HUNTINGTON) which features in the archives but a copy of which hasn't as yet found its way to my in-tray. Wondered if anyone else is experiencing this problem? Gordon
