Hello.

I was recommended wikiwirral by someone on ancestry. I need help in locating a few family members. Does anyone have any tips or their own experience in tracking family members? It would be great if someone here knows of them...but I know that’s a long shot! So, here’s the info I have on them:


I’m looking for the family/ any info of Thomas Williams and Edna M Sully (I’m not 100% on the maiden name). Both originally from Birkenhead, and moved to Southport after they married. Amy family would very much like to make contact with them. Any info would be greatly appreciated by both myself and my family.
Thanks for reading! X

What era did they marry and any rough ages?

Hanna, are you trying to trace them to where they might be living now ? If you know some of their childrens' names it might be possible to track them.

See if there is anyone here . There are a number of Edna M Williams listed one of them in Wirral. It's easier to find her name rather than Thomas Williams..

And do you know if Edna had any sisters, brothers or the names of her children. ? Might help.

Yes, myself and a few other relatives are trying to find where they are now. They want to make contact with them. I’ll try and find out the daughters names.
