I was recommended by members of Liverpool Genealogy to use this forum. as a norwegian genealogist I'm still trying to find my wifes family in Liverpool. Her father was David Thomas Edwards b. 1942, His parents was James Edwards b 1914 and Gladys b. 1916. He got a brother named Jim who has two sons as far as we know. My wifes father and his wife Marie Rose b.Isaksen emigrated to Norway about 1965 when she inherited an old farm from her father Isak Isaksen b. 1922 who where married to Lillian Green b. jun 8 1924 in Liverpool (Bootle?)
Thats what we know :-( anyone here who know anything about this family?

Hello Eino and welcome aboard. I found the marriage of Gladys nee Smith to James Edwards in 1935, it says Registry Office or Registrar attended, the latter meaning it was a Catholic wedding. As you said David T was born in 1942 registration Bootle. I did find a James F maiden name Smith born in December qtr 1935 Liverpool North which covered the Bootle area. Both James and Gladys were born after 1911 census. Do you know the names of James parents?? Cheers Tina and good luck with your search.
