Thanks Jan. I'll try and find out about the surname.

Thank you.


Keith

Hi Jan. It seems that the information you posted is the correct person. I've since been told by my cousin that they lived in Miranda road.
I've also been sent info of a L Pawson who lives/lived in Netherton.

Hi Keith,

I have a 1970 directory and looked up Miranda Road, there were no Pawson listed in 1970.

However, I did find this in the electoral rolls for 1968

Jan and Keith, looks likely that's the same Lily Pawson.
Also at 47 Gondover Ave were John A and Mary Houghton
Per Free BMD
1962 Bootle marriage for John A Houghton and Mary Pawson
Mary Pawson born Bootle 1939 mother MacDonald
and
Thomas Pawson born Bootle 1940 mother MacDonald

Suggests the couple were lodging with his sister and brother in law. In those day that wasn't uncommon whilst newly weds were saving for their first home.

[Jan]

Hi Bee yes you are correct I have just emailed Keith with the details of what I have found.

No sign of Lily or Thomas Pawson in elec rolls or anything else!
