I am trying to locate a birth for Elizabeth Ann Thirkell - born Radcliffe, Lancashire 1907c - she married a Fred Edwards over in Llanfynydd Wrexham. I have found a Thirkell family in Radcliffe around this time but looking on the census I have no name come up.

Does anybody know any history of the Thirkell Family of Radcliffe Lancashire?

Kind Regards
Julie

Look on freebmd for the birth entry - it's there, and it's better that you find it for yourself

The parent's marriage is also on http://www.freebmd.org.uk - search for Fred Thirkell 1900 ;-)

And also on the Lancashire site as above.

thank you so much for your help - I only unfortunately had her death certificate to go off which had her date of birth then.

Thanks again
Julie
