I'm hoping to find Gladys, born 1928 - does anyone in Liverpool know her xxx

It is very unlikely that anyone with any knowledge of Gladys would spot your post.

At almost 100 it is quite probable that she has died.

Try looking at search/ search all members trees. If this is her married name then you would need to enter her maiden name.

Use freebmd to check her birth and marriage.

Thank you to all for your replies, unfortunately they weren't the relative that I was hoping to find ??

Can you give us more clues about her?
You must know more about her than you've told us, if you are able to say that the woman above definitely isn't the right one.

Anything at all might help!

You mention Liverpool.
Do you mean she was born there, or just lived there?
If she lived there, when was that?

Are you sure of her year of birth?

If Vasey was her maiden name, the only other Gladys Vasey possibly born in 1928 (although not in Liverpool) was this one, born either at the end of 1928 or early 1929:

In 1951 (and 1952) Gladys was still at 53a Cliff Street, with her mother and siblings Thomas, Edith, Eric, Richard and Ralph.

VASEY [ also listed as FAIRNIE ]

Musselburgh


Her marriage:

VASEY, GLADYS

However, from the dates that we have, it doesn't look as if she ever lived in Liverpool, unless maybe at some point between 1939 and 1951.

Leaving that Gladys aside -

just pottering around here , looking for any Gladys Vasey's in Liverpool, while awaiting more detail from Carrie -


In 1949 and 1950 a Gladys Vasey lived at 98 Bedford Street South, along with a Harry Vasey.

In 1952, a Gladys Vasey lived at 14 Woodbine Grove, and she was still at that address in 1956. . No other Vaseys with her.
