isn't it always the same. The names you think are more unusual and should be able to trace easily turn out not to be. I had less trouble with my Jones family in Wales than this.

Merritt was possibly a name handed down to the first son, possibly originally a mother's maiden name in the past. I have a similar one and have not found the generation which includes it yet.

Maybe someone could do an address search of 1911 census to see who was actually living at 32 Sandon Rd. Who knows - 7th child - it might taken her by surprise when visiting a friend.

I wonder were the middle name of Merrit came from never heard of that name before ,anyone else heard of it?

Thanks is there anything on the address were my mum was born wonder why she was born different address?

Hi All

Dutch

Have email the Baptisms you found for me to Bassindale in Canada as he has quite alot of information on the family name of Bassindale so mybe he can be of some help to us ,will let you know when he replys

Just had alook i did get reply and he gave me email of another Bassindale which i have kept in touch with he lives inCanada ,and he could,nt find any conextion for ADA

I had already been in contact with chap his name was John not sure if he replied or not ,will try and find out if im not for few hours its because im haveing abad day in alot of pain and been up all night,but will reply later

Yes i did get the cert from i will ring them up tomorrow and ask them .lancashire Ann no i have,nt seen that will go and have alook now ,thank you

did you get Ada & Samuel's marriage certificate from the GRO or Liverpool records office.

If the GRO I wonder if it is worth you contacting Liverpool with the exact date and details and asking them to check the origal for Ada's father's name in case there was a mistranscription to the bishop's transcriptps.

I think they will do 1 free search per person as long as it does not take more than 15 mins.

if you put Ada bassindale on search trees there i a match forone born bolton or manchester. have you contacted him?
