Do you have this marriage cert? I wonder whether it would give you another clue? Even the witnesses or the address might help.

Hello,
I am trying to find any details on my great grandmother Catherine Melrose. Unfortunately we don't have a lot of details on her other that she married my great grandfather, Thomas Steen in February 1920 in West Derby, Liverpool. She had been married previous to this to Joseph Reil in 1916 and had a son James in 1917. Sadly Joseph died in April 1918 on active service in the war, we believe possibly in France. I can find their wedding certificate and James' birth certificate, but I don't know if I order those, it will give us any further information on our great nan.
According to my great grandparents marriage certificate, Catherine was 25 when she married. Unfortunately though I cannot confirm an exact date of birth from any other living relatives. Her father was called Edward and he was a printers compositor. They lived in the West Derby area of Liverpool. My nan said that she thinks Catherine had a brother named Thomas. But I cannot find any trace of either Catherine, Edward or Thomas for me to be able to order any certificates on them.
Many thanks for any help
Regards,
Amy
