Recieved a B.C (very quickly) on sat morn which told me the maiden name of my grt grt grt grandma, Margaret Mercer. i have her as being born 1823, according to census, ther is alot of info on the lds site concerning a Margaret Mercer, b 1823 in Prescott, liverpool. on the census it just states that she was born in Liverpool so i have spent the weekend trying to find if this is the same one, and failing. I know she married John Howard before sept 1843, have tried in vain to find their marriage, been al through the relevant dates on 1871, anybody got any suggestions? thought if i could get the vol/pge i could send for MC and see if it say's Prescott on there. |

Name: Mercer, Margaret Record Type: Marriages Quarter: December Year: 1842 District: Liverpool (1837-1924) County: Lancashire Volume: 20 Page: 185 could this possibly be it - there is a bloke missing from the page - so this could be your John Howard |
