Smith from 1928 till 1939, a Joseph Smith at #52 only shows up in 1933 and a Maria Smith who only shows up in 1929 at # 51, now when Frederick and Ellen Louise Married they moved into # 51,so any one of these MIGHT be her parents? on the Cheshire BMD I found an Ellen Louisa Smith born in the 1912-14 list, Sub distr; Wallasey, Reg at Wirral ref wal/114/48 but no mothers maiden Name? and more info on this not available on line, so can you help find out her parents please, thank you

Her Father's name will be on the marriage certificate.........

Is this your aunt's death record?
If so we can perhaps find her birth registration.

Maybe....??????

Marriages Jun 1911
Lawrence Amelia .. Liverpool 8b 37
Smith Ernest .. Liverpool 8b 37



Births Sep 1912
Smith Ellen L ...Lawrence... Birkenhead 8a 1012

As these parents names were 2 of the possibles at addresses in the street, these MIGHT be the records.

Hi Lesley
Thanks, the Ellen L Smith born in Birkenhead 1912 has to be the one, as the family is definately from the the Wallasey/Liverpool area, again many thanks

AL

Hi Gwyn
It looks like it might be Ernest Smith and Amelia Lawrence as parents? but I just relised I had a first name for ellen's mother LILY? I can not find out where I got this from,so did a search on them and found that they where married in the Sept Qtr in Chorlton 8c 1963? on my tree I had father as Smith only and Mother as Lily only? if it is her then her maiden name is" Milne" so now I do not know which one,

AL

Hello Albert - it might be a good idea to remove the "marked as answered" tick from Lesley's reply. Otherwise, people will think you don't need any further help and won't bother looking at the thread.

The only way you'e going to be sure of Ellen Louise Smith's parentage is to order a copy of their marriage certificate from GRO and see what it gives for her father's details:

England & Wales, Marriage Index: 1916-2005
Name: Frederick W Etherington
Spouse: Ellen L Smith
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1934

Hi Again MarieCeleste
How do I take the tick OFF lesley's report?
thanks

AL

Go to the top of the thread and there should be a pink button that says "mark this thread as unanswered" (or something similar - click that)

Hi Again
found it thanks, I feel like an idiot

AL

Don't be daft Albert! They put these buttons on things but nothing explains what happens!

Hi
To every one who helped thanks, i have just received marriage certificate of Ellen L Smith which verifies her fathers name as Ernest smith and living at 53 Guilford street at time of marriage, so Ernest and Amelia Smith Living at 53 Guilford street are her parents,again thanks to all

AL

Hi Albert, thanks so much for coming back and letting us know. It's nice to tie the loose ends up!
