From margaret ( another thread - keep replying here margaret)

William Mc Gee was born approx 1838. Think he was born in Liverpool Merseyside. thank you.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But was ada the mother of your mother - or someone else that he married?

born 1838 is going some to have a daughter in 1901 - am i understanding that correctly?

what makes you think he was born then ( or there even?)

when are they likely to have married?

Margaret

Margaret Report 9 Jul 2008 10:16

Mum's date of birth was 21st April 1910

Margaret

Margaret Report 9 Jul 2008 10:17

Am only guessing William's date of birth.

Yes you said in your first post - it makes her father ' on the old side' if he was born 1838 - why do you think he was born then?

when were John & mary born? were they older or younger?

Birth certificate gives mum's father as William and Mothers name as Ada Mc Gee. Maiden name Swift

there is a Martha McGee whose MMN was Swift born in the right area at the right sort of time , ( as well as numerous Mary's)

You can send to Th GRO for the marriage cert (- Or Liverpool register office if you like.)
