Looking for any info on my mother in laws family. Joan my mum in law is 91 and has dementia so she can't tell us much. She lived in Marian road bootle and her dad was a tanner who worked at the factory at the end of there road. Any info would be really appreciated. We do know she was bombed in the ww2. Her family name was Drake. Her father was James and her mum Mary.

Charles Morton was Mary's father, so your mum in law's grandad on her mum's side. It has Mary Elina Morton but it should be Mary Eliza.
The family are still at 37 Marion Road in 1939. I will post details later. Hope that helps so far. Going to look for James and Mary's marriage now.
