I tried looking for his birth but can't find a thing!

Joseph was born in Liverpool, and in 1948 lived at 66 Montrovia Crescent Liverpool. If its the same Joseph he lived at 36 Guelph Street in 1901! I am new to this and have only being searching for the past week or so, and have already found out alot of info regarding the Barton side. Is it possible to get an online version of the marriage cert? Thanks for the advice

Have you looked for a birth? It should be on freebmd...........

Also, his marriage cert should have his father's name on it..........

Have you looked for him in 1891?

If you want lookups done, you'll need to tell us where in the country these people were born and lived.............

I have come to a stumbling block with my nan's father. His name is Joseph Breen, and he died in 1954 at the age of 65, he was married to an Elizabeth Barton and they married in 1912 they had 6 children. Working back from the time he died he would have been born in 1889, my nan said his birthday is on 17 December. Now in the 1901 census I found a Joseph Breen who would have been 12 at the time which ties in nicely with his age of death. In 1901 he lived with his grandparents Peter Janees Breen and Jane Breen Peter and Jane had 3 children living with them, Edward, Mary Jane and Ellen Pauline they were a family of tailors except for Ellen who was a confectioner. Now this ties in nicely as my nan recalls her dad saying he lived with his grandparents who were tailors to the police. But I am now trying to find details on Josephs parents, my nan also recalls a Granny Burrell who took Joseph back off the grandparents, but she says thats a bit sketchy. Any info on Josephs parents would be great. The family is also linked to a big tobacco factory on Scotland Road. My nan also said when Joseph was little he would be taken over to formby to visit the breen family who had servants and were very posh! It's a big ask but any info would be great, as my nan is the last survivor Joseph and Elizabeth Breen.
