Thanks Brenda - It might be - I have it to one side!

It is more likely that the marriage would be in Salford area rather than St. Helens, BUT - every little helps!

Haven't found a marriage yet! - Still looking!

Can anyone help with Arthur going from Australia to New Zealand?

Many thanks,

Thank you SO much Jeanette - this is certainly a 'possible'

It is the only lead I have ever had and the occupation looks good for someone who went on to run a 'haulage' business.

I will see if I can find any marriages which might fit.

Maybe his wife joined him later?

Many thanks,

P.S. - I have put a request on Records board for an electoral roll look-up.

Hi all,

My grandfather's brother Arthur Lamb was born in 1914 to parents David Lamb + Mary Jane Fenton.

I have all the census + Bmd on his parents but hope someone can help on Arthur please.

All I know is that his birth ref was:

Births Jun 1914
LAMB Arthur Fenton Barton I. 8c 1194
(Barton-upon-Irwell is in Lancashire)

At some stage, and I am afraid I do not know when - he went to Australia and then later on to New Zealand.

I have no details of dates and no-one to ask.

I believe he did at one stage run a 'haulage' business (after he left UK).

I am afraid that is absolutely everything I know.

If anyone can find any info about when he travelled or if he married, had children etc., I would be very grateful.

Many thanks,

Dea x
