Have found marriage of Julia Pinkston to George Flower q3 1873 West Derby 8b 928. Looking for info on Julia before her marriage. Believe she was born abt 1856 in Lancs ?. Can you find her in 1861 and 1871 and give her parents/siblings details. Thanks for looking. Helen.

If this is the right family, I fear you may have a bit of trouble. Both William and Bridget/Eliza were born in Ireland, and unless you are very lucky, this is where you might come to a halt. I have with my Irish ancestors because without knowing exactly where in Ireland they came from, it sems to be impossible to trace further back. Good luck though, Sue

Sue, thanks so much for your help so far. I am hoping the marriage cert will confirm the parents and tie in. I know that Ireland is very hit and miss but can only hope that someone else doing their tree has a hit with mine. This has happened with my scottish leg and has taken me back to 1600's. Fingers crossed. Happy searching. bbfn. Helen.
