and I can not find a family in the 1939 register I have tried every trick I can think of and nil zero must be hid in the cellar. I have tried sound a like, tried putting them with other members of the family and still not a hide nor hair. Any idea's

Which site are you searching on ?

Ancestry have just updated the 1939 Register.

What is the name you are looking for ?

Madge, I found a Shears, mis-transcribed as Skears.
I only know it was her, because she was at a friends house - and I knew the name of the friend! :-S

I am on Ancestry Malc,

The Family I am looking for are Percy Walley born 1899 Crew Cheshire wife Mary and their children Edith 1919 Doreen 1922 I think the rest are too young John abt 1927 all living Stockport

Tried all that Maggie

Doubt any children will be open in the Register as they are under 100 years old.
Unless they have died.

What would Percy”s occupation be ?

Are you sure the wife's name is Mary?

There's this -

Aww Choccy you beat me to it ....I was just going to ask if Percy was born in 1889 rather than 1898 :-)

If that is the correct Percy there is a Schools Admission Transcription on FMP

Name Percy Walley
Year 1900
Date of birth 10 Aug 1889
Place Crewe, Cheshire
School Edleston Road National School
Father John Walley
Residence 11 Hammond St, Crewe, Cheshire

Yes it was 1889 not 1899 Mary Ann was his Mother * blushes* but Yes Choccy that is them I am really rusty at this, hours I was looking thank you so much Choccy and Londonbelle xxxxxxx <3

If you're interested and haven't already found it Madge there looks to be a WW1 Service Record for Percy on Ancestry year of birth is 1891 but he gives his Next of Kin as Father John Walley, 57 Maxwell St which is the same address his Parents were living at on 1911 Census. The Record makes interesting reading :-)

Yes thanks I found it a few years ago. and found interesting facts about Percy's son illness which I shall tell you at another times as I am rushing to go out, thanks again xx

~~~~s to Madge <3

Well done Choccy & Belle you is so clever :-D :-D
