They should be on the electoral roll for that address. This should be available at the Archives or Local History library which covers the area.

You need to check the electoral register which will be held at the library for the area concerned - they are not online.

You will only get people eligible to vote though so definately no children.

Alternatively you could check historical directories but again, will only get the head of the house.

As I said, electoral registers are not available online but you could try emailing the library or Liverpool records office.

Women under 30 were allowed to vote from 1928 so if his wife was younger than this, she won't be listed anyway.

In 1926 only women over the age of 30 could vote. It wasn't until 1928 that women over the age of 21 could vote, so if the lady you are looking for wasn't 30 she wouldn't be on the electoral register for 1926.

What's the man's name and do you know the year and area they got married as we can check the index to find out the wife's name?

Best Wishes

no, victoria. I only have the name of my grandfather Henry William Chapman and his Father Edward Baker Chapman from my grandmithers marriage cert. They lived at 65 Westlake road Wavertree Liverpool. The wedding cert was from 1926.
Think I'm stuck.
Thanks anyway

If it's your great grandmother's maiden name you're looking for it should be on your grandmother's birth certificate.

So is it Henry William Chapman's mum's maiden name you are looking for?

In 1926, a Henry W Chapman got married in the 4th quarter to a Florence Farnsworth in Liverpool. Do you think it might be them?

Kind Regards

Hi Victoria
Yes Henry married Florence then. That's how I got his Fathers name, but from then I am at a loss. I don't know where he was born. Also, I can't pinpoint Edward Baker Chapman (HW's father) on any of the census's.
Thanks a lot
