Sue, I have done the same thing and did inform others that the couple in the photo could be one of three possibilities, including the supposed couple that I thought it was. Then it's up to them to alter the information if they so desire.

I think Herbert's (b.1877 not 1876) father was Joseph Gregson (b.1845) and his father was also Joseph Gregson (b.1814). I wondered if anyone had the information, before I send for the marriage certificates.--Joseph married Amelia Bolton in 1868. Joseph (senior) married Ellen Burrell in1836. Thanks, Geoff. Ikin.

My Grandma Eveline Wetherall (nee Trotter) was a district midwife. I have been told that she delivered most of the babies in the area and she was very respected in the community. She rode a bike with a basket on the front (as most did!) I would love it if someone remembered her or can give me information on the life of a midwife in Lancashire at the time.

Unfortunately I live a long way from Liverpool and am more or less housebound these days so am unable to visit . Thank you to the person who offered to do this on my behalf.. yes please if you can I would love to know if the gravestones exist and if any siblings, parents and dates match up with all the other details given in these kind people's answers as I also have the mystery of which Thomas is actually mine.

I am helping a friend with his family tree. Lancs Online Parish records shows that on 19th October 1845 his GG Grandfather Thomas Whaley/Whalley married Ann Higham in Eccleston. Thomas's father is shown as George. According to the census records Thomas was born 1823 Croston. I found a birth of a Thomas born 1823 in Croston and his mother was shown as Betty, it would seem she was a single mother. I have been unable to fins a Thomas born c1823 with a father George. Can anyone help please? regards Julie
