Donna Could you say which year(s) you are looking for - I will be able to give you some information on parish records but you may be able to find parents on freebmd. Jane |

Hi,Kathleen, I'm having trouble with my Liverpool ancestors too[I live in Essex]. Have been doing research on them for nearly a year and have only got back to 1800's. Think the problem is that most of mine came from Ireland. It's ironic because i've got back to the 1600's with another line which i've only been doing for a fortnight! This is because the parish records for norfolk are online and the family stayed in the same place! |
