John married Isabella beetween Oct and Dec 1869 and the ref is: West Derby 8b 590 If you obtain the Marriage cert. it should tell you father,s name and occupation and where John was living at the time. Forgive me if this info. is already known to you. Good luck in your search Hazel

Hi Brenda i had seen the names john and ellen etc but thomas haughton gerdes and henrietta ellen are new to me! i,m sure they will all be connected as it is a fairly unusual name - just some more pieces to the puzzle. thanks again sue
