Thanks for trying. He is definately on 1881 census age 41 born Shoreditch and living in Dagmar Rd London at the time of census. Will keep trying. Thanks again Marie

Teresa Where did you get the VRI from and how much did it cost. IF you dont mind me asking. Marie

Hi Teresa, If you are not sick of it all,would be obliged if you could search for a Thomas and Mary Godfrey,married in Liverpool 1820, Many Thanks Again Kathleen

Hi Kathleen; No joy this time. Quite a few Godfreys in Liverpool mostly 1830's but no Thomas and Mary. Sorry.

Hi Marie; I got the BVRI second edition from www(.)familysearch(.)org remove the brackets. I ordered from the U.S. site. It cost about 20 dollars us. There are over 12.5 million births and marriages(mostly births) from 1500's to 1906. The index is not complet. I have had the discs for about 18 months and until last week had never found anything of my own on it. Helped quite a few others though. Teresa

Never mind Theresa, most of the Godfreys in Liverpool appear to be mine,waiting on marriage cert for one of them ,hoping it will tell me that Thomas is his father,will just have to wait Thanks Again Kathleen

Hi Teresa, I am researching the RANGE family from Everton and Toxteth areas in Liverpool.I have at present managed to get back to 1782 James Range = Ann Quick but am looking for information on His father and mother William Range=Catherine Travis ,possibly wed around Sefton in Liverpool or St.Peter's church.Any help would be great. Kind regards, Will Range

Teresa: If you still have the time, would you be kind enough to look up a marriage for Susanna Vaus, please? Susanna married James Mumford on 17-Mar-1857. Max, on this site, found a record of a James Mumford marrying in St. George Hanover Square (would that be London?), first quarter 1857. The equipment was down and she could not look up a record for Susanna Vaus. James and Susanna may have married in either England or Canada, so if you need an exact location, please ignore this message. Thank you in advance.

Hi Wilf; There are a couple of marriages in Liverpool around that timeframe but not for William and Catherine. There is George Range married Mary Moss 1785, Edmund Range m Alice Southart 1785, John Range m Ellen Pendleton 1784. 1791 Catherine Range m. John Lord. Are any of these of interest? I do have James Birth 1732, do you have it? It also looks like there may be a sister Martha although only mother name Catherine on record. I also see a William Henry Rang born to William Henry Range and Catherine in Liverpool 1899. I any of these are of interest let me know and I will post the details

Hi Lisa; Sorry, no sign of either of those names during that timeframe.

Teresa: Wow, you're fast! I have a feeling they were already in Canada in 1857 -- but it was worth a try. Thanks so much for your speedy lookup and reply. All the best with your research!

Hi Teresa. I have just asked for a 1871 look up, but could you look to see if you could find Alfred John waters born 1862/3 Rotherhithe area. father Frederick Waters Licenced Victualler, for me. Thanks Valerie

Hi Valerie; Sorry, no sign of him in the births

Hi again Teresa, Wondered if you could look to see a Benjamin Godfrey,he married Sarah Topliss 1794 in Asby De La Zouche, thinkthey had child born in Measham Derby 1795,but then moved to Liverpool Many Thanks Kathleen,

Thanks Teresa. the information was from the 1901 census and Alfred was the only one I canot find, so I will just have to keep looking. valerie

Hi Kathleen; Sorry, it has taken we a while to answer, I sell jewellery out of my home and on the web and have an open house tomorrow, lots to do. Anyway, this looks like your family.

Hi Kathleen; I cant find a marriage for Thomas Godfrey b. 1795 There are a couple of possibilities for William. I think the second one might be your best bet. I checked on children for William and Elizabeth, they have childred named Mary Ann and Benjamin and others but they are in Bluntisham cum Earith, Huntingdonshire, is that a possibility?
