Wish I lived over there. I had ancestry.com given to me by my son for Christmas. After hours and hours {everyone from either the wirral or liverpool] I'm STUCK. Could really use this help. DAMN IT!!!

ruth0339, if you want any help give me a PM with your email and what your stuck with and I'll see if I can help (30 years researching)

After another 4 hours I have come to the conclusion that my great grandmother Annie Rose Naylor married twice, or once and just changed partners to William Naylor and had a host of children by him. Is there any way of checking this?

Ruth, I chased mine up by gleaning what info I could from living relatives and then it is just painstaking chiselling away at the docs in Ancestry.com and cross referring where possible and gradually building up a tree. It's time consuming but great when you get a result. Seem to remember some Naylors living in Patterson Street or thereabouts when I was a kid. They went to Trinity Street School as I remember.

I'm the last of my generation. Came here with Mum, Dad and younger brother. Older brother came two years later after he finished his stint in RAF. All gone now. So can only go back to what I already knew. Trouble is they ALL seem to be William or Joseph in the Graham line.

Purchase a good crash helmet.

Bert. Your posts are always very informative and you never cease to amaze me just how much you know about just about everything.....but that advice didn't help me at all. Funny but no help. You must be having more luck with your 'new Ancestry' than I'm having.


AND I'd love to know where you find all your links !!!

No Ruth, my lumps are getting bigger.

Know the feeling,my family line came to Birkenhead in 1843/5 from Cheltenham probably via Cirencester from Leafield Oxfordshire that is guesswork as we are stuck at 1803 in Cheltenham the trail goes cold, all had trades but all christened as grown ups in St Johns Church,so as were all incomers to Birkenhead then I don't need to hide where I come from.

Are they able to help with out of the area queries or is it just local family history?

I have some questions regarding family in Brighton.

Hi Hei. Send a PM to OxtonHill and tell him your problem. I'm in Oz and he's sorting my prob out for me.

Went along to this.

There was no 1911 census at all, dont know where this info was provided from.

Do you need any help with this Census?

I think there was ... try HERE

www.wirral-libraries.net 'events' section. Check out next months meeting info for 8.3.11, its the same as the info i provided.

Just to confirm, access to the 1911 census is through the website 1911census.co.uk as has been stated, but to see anything you need to buy credits. Therefore no results were available at the library session.

However, the guys there were saying that its rumoured that ancestry.co.uk will have access to it very soon.

I need overall help with one aspect of my tree haha.

Do you want me to put the info on here or send you a pm?

Send me a PM.

Just a suggestion, but I take it you all know about http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk/ ?
I've been delving into this, but at £9 a pop it can get scary!
