Hi hoping some kind soul can help with the following. 1. Would anyone know if I can obtain pictures of Bootle (Liverpool) from 1870-1950. 2. Having found out that my grandfather died in 1975 where can I obtain a copy of his will 3.Can I obtain details of burials for Ford and Yew Tree cemetary, that is all burials as I know the names but not when they died. Oh and just to say as I live in Jersey the info put on these pages is a credit to everyone.
