Looking for Ann Downey (nee Guy). Married Frank Downey late fifties. I was her bridesmaid. I emigrated to Canada in 1962 and lost touch.

Hello Jean, what part of Bootle is Anne from and what school did she attend or where did she work ? May help someones memory. R R

Hello Ron,
When I knew her she lived on Galsworthy Avenue, but prior to, around Fernhill Road/Northfield Drive area. Frank lived on Southport Road. Ann went to Roberts Drive School and worked at the Peerless Refining Company on Dunningsbridge Road, which was where I met her. Her family and Frank drank at the Aintree Pub on Aintree Road.
Thanks for your time.
Jean

Hi Jean. My two sons went to Roberts Drive school, which is now demolished ( maybe they're the reason ) in 1968 + Perhaps they may know something. I live in Orrell Lane. If there is anything I can do for you at this end, for example if Anne has a relative near by, I could ask on your behalf, just ask me. Best wishes, Ron.

Good evening Sir Francis, There was a pic of it almost flattened on a few pages back in the forums. Only this year I think , Go back about 6 - 7 pages or further, you will see the sad pic. Ronald .

Hello Jean,

Ann and Frank married in Crosby in the Apr-June Q 1960. How old would they be now?

Hello Jan,

Ann would be about 66 now and Frank several years older - 70 plus. I believe it was St.Phillips Church Litherland where they were married. Where did you get your information?

Thanks.

Hello Jean,

I looked through the Births Marriages and deaths which is now online at www.ancestry.co.uk/

I also looked in the births to see if they had any children,

I will send you a PM about that.

Hi Folk,
Have been in touch with Ann's sister Lilly in Galsworthy Ave,
Ann and her family have emigrated to Christchurch New Zealand, but obviously don't know about this site, but she should do any time now.
Should be a very nice get-together,
Cheers,
Dave E.

Hi Jean......I think I knew her from Galsworthy as I lived couple streets away and I attended Roberts school also...her last name GUY sounds very familiar to me....
