I am looking for my Grandmothers cousins, originally Beryl and Barbara Crebbin, twin daughters of Ruth (known as Izzy) and Bill Crebbin of W Derby, Liverpool - born in 1933. Barbara married Roy Erwin an American serviceman in 1952 and had a daughter Denise. Barbara married Clifford C Taylor I am not sure if he was American too. Both of them appear to have sailed to New York in the late 1950's though not together.
Any information would be appreciated.

Can't see any emigration for Beryl...but records are not available after 1960

Sadly there was no contact as far as I know. Before they were born my dad lived with their parents but I presume there were complications because he was passed to a neighbour(?) and he ended up being taken into care where they tracked down his mother. There was probably contact with my grandmother but never with us. They are probably the only 2 who possibly may have heard the story properly and may be of some help in tracing his father. All we have is a name.
Thank you everyone who has contributed so far. I used the passenger lists but my subscription wouldn't let me view Beryl Taylor's record on sailing to New York in 1958.

I do not have the exact birth date but it was Q3 so it could possibly be the correct one. Was that in US? Do you know if I would be able to get a copy of the certificate?
Thank you.

The Beryl Taylor who travelled to the USA in 1958 was single - so NOT your relation

Have you tried looking for her in the UK?

Have you researched the parents? Found out when they died, and who attended their funerals

There is a possible (but only that) re-marriage for Clifford in 1992.

You'd have to get certs to verify
