I've been researching my family tree now for almost 3 years, not long I know, however I have come a long way since I began.
I am asking for help and if possible old photos of the following:
the eagle and crown pub in Upton - my mum worked there as a barmaid in the 1960's her name Betty Toner (Esther)
any info on Birkenhead park during the blitz, family memories say an uncle of mine was presented to the King and Queen after dealing with a bomb
any photo's of Ilchester Square flats my paternal grandmother lived there)
any photos of Beaufort Square flats I lived there from 1954 until 1964
any info on the bomb which fell on Our Lady's Church Price Street, think the Canon was killed and my mum's first husband Jimmy Smith may have helped.
I know it might be a long shot but here#s hoping

God help us,
Come yourself,
Don't send Jesus,
This is no place for children.
