    3. Hello List, Several decades ago, my great-aunts and uncles in Wales were in contact with their cousins who emigrated to the US in the early 20th Century, and I am now trying to see if I can re-establish contact with the next-generation. Trying to trace descendants of great-aunt Catharine Edwards and her husband John Alfred Owen who married in Liverpool in 1893 I have two points of reference for the family 1. The 1901 UK Census 2. The 1930 US Census I think that it is very unlikely that one of my relatives will actually be on this list, but I do hope that there is someone on the list with some local knowledge who will be able to point me in the right direction Here are the details John and Catharine were both born in Wales and in the 1901 Census of England/Wales the couple were living at 31 Ripon Street Walton-on-the-Hill Liverpool Lancashire with their three children Herbert (known as Bert or Bertie), Edward and Catharine.
