I confirm that New Ferry is on the Wirral.

My father's mother's name was Margaret Mylcraine and she was living at 152 Windsor St, Liverpool, but they did not marry. Robert's occupation is listed as Grocer's shop assistant so I suspect he may have been quite young.

Margaret would have been 21 when she conceived so Patchems spot may have some legs as that would make Robert 28 when he fathered my Dad.

Lancashire ?

Corkill seems to be an Isle of Man surname

I have my father's birth certificate dated 20th March 1924 which states that his father was a Robert Howard Corkhill of 8 Beverley Road, New Ferry. This gentleman had no input to my father's upbringing but I am curious to find out what I can about him. However, I can find nothing at all about him on either this or the Ancestry site.

Any advice or guidance please?

Dave
