possibly no help, I was wondering the same thing as Maryb (maybe she was adopted by her Aunt and Uncle)

Hi Mary on my mothers birth certificate that i sent for it had George Francis and they lived in nuber 3 Denmark Street, on the marriage certificate it had Richard George.
My sister tried to find our mothers birth certificate years ago but had no luck.
Well your long shot might be right but how can i find out if it was the case.
I have made contact with second or third cousin on the Leavesley side she might have some records on Walter.
Thanks for help and the time you have put in for me. Alan.

Could this be what happened,a long shot i knowbut.

Walter marries Lilian m roberts has Walter A Leavesley and Lilian Leavesley
Lilian M Leavesley dies Liverpool 1918 age 29 = birth1889.

Then Walters sister Mary louisa marrys Richard George Francis and they bring her up as there own,so her mum would infact be her auntie.

I told you it was a long shot,but it would account for a lot of the problems we are finding.

Maryb

Maryb

Do you have the number of Denmark st,and did Richard use his middle name as you called him George in 1915.

Maryb

Lilian Francis Birth date is 31/12/1914 and not the 30/12/1914.
Alan.

Hi the Leavesleys of 54, Fowler street are my mothers mother and family.
Thanks Alan.

Thanks i have my grandmothers marriage certificate and my mothers birth certificate or what i think is hers,the Roberts part i have know idea about.
Alan

Thanks PaulaW for your help Alan

Hi Dee thanks for your help. ALAN

Hi i have the birth certificate also , and that they lived in Denmark street,this was the street next to the one i was born in and my grandmother lived .
also it say George Francis and that he was a labourer,and that was 1915 but nothing adds up.
My mother always told me her father was killed just before she was born. i know her mother had a child in 1911 called Ada and that she died, i have the birth &death certificate for her.
Thanks Alan

Hi Jonesey thanks for the help i have come across this Richard before, i can only go by what my mother told me and what her mother told her.thanks again Alan.

Leavisley & Roberts marriage

England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915

Name: Walter Leavisley
Year of Registration: 1912
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
Spouse's Surname: Roberts
District: West Derby
County: Lancashire
Volume: 8b

corresponding spouse

Name: Lilian M Roberts
Year of Registration: 1912
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
Spouse's Surname: Leavisley
District: West Derby
County: Lancashire
Volume: 8b

I too have been looking for the marriage and daughter and cannot find them.

I have looked for a Leavesley/Roberts marriage but I did not spot one.

This enquiry bothers me slightly.

According to the original poster the couple had a daughter born on 30/12/1914. I cannot spot a Lilian Francis birth registered Dec Qtr 1914 or Mar Qtr 1915. Neither can I spot any birth of a child with the surname Francis and a mother whose maiden name was Leavesley.

The only one that gets close is this one:

Births Mar 1915 (99%)
Francis Lilian Roberts W. Derby 8b 541

Perhaps Alan would care to explain.
