Hopefully re-posting my Surnames. O'B'RIEN of Bootle, Birkenhead and County Louth.GRIMES of Liverpool and County Louth,Ireland. FLETCHER of Tranmere, Rock Ferry and possibly Runcorn or Manchester area. AUSTIN of Liverpool and Manchester. IBBS of Liverpool.with connections to the Herculanium Pottery Factory . MASSEY of Tranmere, RockFerry and Runcorn. FLETCHER is my double brick wall of many years. My Great Grand Father William James FLETCHER had a son with Alice Hannah AUSTIN in 1875 then disappeared completely. No sign of him in any Census from the time of his birth until Alice Hannah married William Banner of Runcorn in the late 1890s. She declared herself to be a Spinster then!! Even though her son William James the 2nd was by then in his teens. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Margaret in Australia. ----- Original Message ----- From: <ENG-MERSEYSIDE-D-request@rootsweb.com> To: <ENG-MERSEYSIDE-D@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, August 18, 2006 1:00 AM Subject: ENG-MERSEYSIDE-D Digest V06 #81
