Bunnykins Report 24 Jul 2008 22:04

I am trying to track down my Great Great Nan's family. Her name was Mary Cunningham born in Birkenhead, Wirral in 1892. She married my Great Great Grandfather Edward Thomason in October 1912 in Walton, Liverpool. On their Wedding Certificate her father is listed as William Henry Cunningham (deceased), occupation looks like Fish Salesman. Can anyone look up her or her father and the family (Mum and any siblings) on the 1901 Census so I can try and trace the same.

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for that Andy.

Any suggestions on how I would locate the "new" marriage certificate. I presume that Ellen Rabbit would have been Mary's Mum. Also how to locate Mary's father death certificate as not sure when or where he was born other than getting a copy of Mary Cunningham's birth certificate.

I have just tried to do a search on Ellen Rabbit as not sure where she was born. Was there any other information available on her.

Thanks Nikki
