Glitter Baby and Shirley..thank- you for helping me.. i've ordered a few birth and marriage certs lately ( spending too much money on this new hobby but it's addictive ) i think gonna have to get another one..the family have asked me to do this and i have my own tree to catch up on.. you have both helped me in the past for which i am very grateful... proper spelling is LIVERSEY but could be spelt the other way on certs !! don't know about a Margurite sounds too posh .. they think there was an aunt edith in the family...thanks again for trying ..take care Elaine ....

Elaine

Elaine Report 13 Sep 2010 00:04

sister in law is certain name is spelt with an r but she could be wrong when info is showing Livesey and not Liversey they dont have any knowledge about their mothers roots think that is sad ...
