Hi would someone be kind enough to see if they could find William in 1891 and 1901 please?

He was the son of William Leah and Mary and in 1901 may have had a daughter about 4 years old called Elizabeth (Mary)...she was stepdaughter in 1911. Liverpool, West Derby or Toxteth areas.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for the extra notes, its funny to think the family used the church that my own daughter was christened in all those years ago, we thought we'd moved to the 'posh area'..

William jnr did marry Mary Garvey in 1907 but I haven't figured out if he married before and Elizabeth Mary was the daughter of that marriage or as you say the daughter of his wife , recorded as a Leah......I don't have Mary Garvey's census records yet, her parents were William Garvey & Elizabeth (unknown).

Married Mary Garvey ??

Mike * Report 22 Oct 2012 22:43

Could Garvey be mistranscribed as Carty ( or the other way around ) ?

OR

was Garvey her miaden name and she was married to Carty before she married William ?

Sue

Sue Report 22 Oct 2012 22:48

It was Garvey according to my Nan's birth record, my nan was Lillian Leah born 1914, daughter of William George Leah and Mary Garvey.

Sue

Sue Report 22 Oct 2012 22:51

Hmm, Mary (Garvey) could have married a Carty...that name has never come up before in my family , the plot thickens.

Not Mary Garvey !
Mary was his mother not his wife

What EXACTLY does it say for MARGARET on your nan's birth cert?

Is it Margaret Leah formerly Garvey ?
Or Margaret Leah previously Carty formerly Garvey

I keep looking at this one ... ( Carty / Carter ... depends how you say it )

Nan's certificate definitely says formerly Garvey and this is also the case on one of her sister's certificates too.
