Find Ancestors

Runcorn seems to be a red herring, in any case.

All the Elizabeth Gallons born within a reasonable timeframe were born in the Northumberland/Durham area, except for an Elizabeth Margaret born in Lambeth in 1895.

So whoever she was, she may have moved to Runcorn for work, and met Chin Dock there.
She didn't just go there to give birth away from a home town elsewhere, as Chin Dock's address is still Runcorn in 1924.

Or she may have been living with Mr Wilson there - but wasn't married to him.

But there's a big gap between 1911 census and 1939 register, when she could have moved around all over the place, and we won't be able to find out where she was.

Thank you for your reply
I always appreciate whatever information i can get as i never met my grandmother and i dont think my father ever knew what happened to her after my grandfather took him away to China for his schooling and when my dad came back to England at 16, he never saw my grandmother again as far as i am aware

Could you please let me know the address in Runcorn ? Who was living there?
I think the astigmatism in having an illegitimate child may have resulted in my grandmother changing her name but i know my father was registered at birth as a Wilson and as Chin Lee
I have no information on a Wilson

The other thing i mentioned was that a Elizabeth Gallon was listed as a Passenger in 1927 (6 years after my dad was born). I dont know if she is my grandmother but it seems a coincident

I have many 4th/5th /6th cousins named on my DNA matches but none of their names have no relation to my grandfather/mother

Thanks again for any help

READ my post about that passenger list

The woman who travelled in 1927 wasn't necessarily an Elizabeth.

Her initial is only E.
Edith / Ellen / Ethel /Evelyn / Ermengarde/ etc - could be anything.

Looking again at this, I see you ask,
"Could you please let me know the address in Runcorn ? Who was living there?"


If you mean Chin Dock and Lee Chin's address, that was given in the 1924 travel record posted by Shirley on 7 Sep 2019 at 19:41, and previously in 2016 by DetEcTive.

817 Church Street, Runcorn.

Referring back to AustinQ's post on 25 Jun 2016, when he couldn't decipher the address to which Chin Lee was going. It looks to me very much like Princess Road, Manchester

1939 for the address
180 Princess Road, Manchester, Manchester C.B.,
Clin Fongtoy 09 Jan 1903, England Male Laundryman Married 153 1
Chu Au Chug Fongtoy 17 Sep 1914 Female Housewife Married 153 2

WWII records are not online. You have to purchase them at a cost of £30.

Thank you ReikaH & Agryll Gran for your replies. Yes i agree E (Gallon) is vague and it is wrong for me to assume it is Elizabeth
You are right, my father when he returned from China stayed with his step brother in 180 Princess St, Manchester
My apologies to all and many thanks to all who contributed on my thread
