Can't look him up in 1891 if he wasn't born until 1893. Sorry. Jan.

Bernard, Also, the birth records on FreeBMD are virtually complete for the period from 1893-1906 so you should find him listed there. Crista

Hi Crista, Don't really know much about him, except, when he married my grandmother Catherine theresa Gribbin, they lived in a house in Scarisbrick Drive, Liverpool. They had four sons, William, John, James & Bernard, also four daugther's, Elizabeth, Catherine, Frances & May. Bernard was the youngest born in 1928. I don't know if any of that information narrow's it down, but I will appreciate any Information at all, no matter how little. Regards Bernie.

Bernard, I think you will have to order his marriage certificate to find his age and parents. There are a lot of William Reeces born in that time frame. You could take a guess and say it might be any of the ones from Lancashire but you would never be sure. Crista
