Alan If you go to the Library in william brown street.You can find lots of info on liverpool families. If you know what churches your reletavies were married or baptised in . The staff are very friendly, and will always help you. you could ring them on monday morning and see if they have a microfilm machine free.They cost 50p for two hours.you can also ask if you can have a machine with a printer attached.If you are searching Liverpool marriages it is alot cheaper than going to the register office,as copies are only 60p.The library is open on a sunday i think, so you could ring them tomorrow. Regards Linda

allan, why travel and waste energy when you can order online. I get all my certs from 1837online which has a link to southport GRO, same cost and same wait time, saves the bus fare ..LOL.........moe
