Just a quicky Florence

W Derby (West Derby) is a district of Liverpool and not Derby.

Good luck with your search.

Thank you very much indeed. I will give take your advice and try this. It seems to be easier to trace the dead rather than the living. I will have to sign off now for a bit. Thank you once again.

Florence, to be honest, I'm much better with dead people than the living!
This is where you have to start using FreeBMD (website address above). If you put Mildred Lowry's name in the boxes and select search marriages you will see who she married. You can then select to search births and put her husband's surname in the box and Mildred's maiden name in the spouse/mother surname box and you'll find their children, and so on. It's a lot easier than I make it sound - go on and have a try!
I've done a little search already but it's not a good idea to post details of people who are probably still living on a public forum.
Once you've found names you can get someone who has access to electoral roll to look them up.

Thank you ever so much for this information Anne-Marie. My sister can remember that our father had a sister called Millie so I am sure that they must be them. so now they lived in Derby in later life. Where would I look to try and trace living relatives. Have you any ideas please.

Florence, when searching the census I just ticked the "include variants" boxes under the names so the search picks up various spellings.

You can find a lot of info on FreeBMD http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl
such as these possible siblings for Clifford:

Births Dec 1915 (>99%)
Lowry Marion Marsden W. Derby 8b 983
Births Dec 1921 (>99%)
Lowry Mildred E Marsden W.Derby 8b 952

Wow, how do you do it , you are incredible Anne Marie and Christine in Portugal. Apart from tracing ancestors I really would like to contact any living relatives but don't know how to do this. Thank you for this information I never thought to check the spelling. It is actually Lowry the same as the artist.

Florence, I think this is them (names mis-spelled)

Return states married 1 year, so that fits.

Could this be them in 1911 as I see they were married in Blackburn?

This is just from a free search.

The birthplace for my father was given as Wigan. My grandmother was born in the Blackburn area. We have no idead were grandfather came from but have always believed that the family were from Liverpool possibly via Ireland.

Hello Florence, just to check - would they have been in the Liverpool area in 1911?

Hi to everyone, please can anyone shed some light on this for me. I have the marriage certificae for my mother and father. He was born in 1912 as above. His father was Albert Lowry and he was a tailor. His mother was Florence A Marsden and they were married in Dec 1910.
I cannot trace them at all apart from the marriage and birth of my father. I have tried the 1911 census and cannot find anything at all. Any help would be appreciated thank you.

Rose and everyone else thank you for the information etc. I will follow your link but I have to sign off now.

Here's the thread:

If you're looking to make contact with the son, I think he's on 192.com

Jean can do lookups. I'll try and find the thread.

Rose

Rose, I do think that this could possibly be him thank you for the information.
Florence

Hi this one is definitely mine but now I need the marriage certificate, I think. Clifford Lowry and Beatrice Maud Morley were married in Cleveland and it would have been 1940 and I think it would be August of that year as I know my mother wasn't pregnant at the time.
