PatW Report 12 Aug 2017 23:37

Alfred was born in 1926 in Prescot Lancashire and died in 2001 in Halton .Cheshire.
He married .Mary Higgins in 1946 in Prescot, Lancashire. I think Mary was born about 1926 also in Prescot but don't know when she died.

I would also like some help in tracing their parents .

Alfred and Mary had at least 2 sons but I only know the name of 1 who was Kevin T. Kenny born in Prescot 1953.
I would be grateful of any help.
Thanks
