Hello Albert - it might be a good idea to remove the "marked as answered" tick from Lesley's reply. Otherwise, people will think you don't need any further help and won't bother looking at the thread.

The only way you'e going to be sure of Ellen Louise Smith's parentage is to order a copy of their marriage certificate from GRO and see what it gives for her father's details:

England & Wales, Marriage Index: 1916-2005
Name: Frederick W Etherington
Spouse: Ellen L Smith
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1934
Registration district: Birkenhead
Inferred County: Cheshire
Volume Number: 8a

Hi Gwyn
It looks like it might be Ernest Smith and Amelia Lawrence as parents? but I just relised I had a first name for ellen's mother LILY? I can not find out where I got this from,so did a search on them and found that they where married in the Sept Qtr in Chorlton 8c 1963? on my tree I had father as Smith only and Mother as Lily only? if it is her then her maiden name is" Milne" so now I do not know which one,

Maybe....??????

Marriages Jun 1911
Lawrence Amelia .. Liverpool 8b 37
Smith Ernest .. Liverpool 8b 37



Births Sep 1912
Smith Ellen L ...Lawrence... Birkenhead 8a 1012

As these parents names were 2 of the possibles at addresses in the street, these MIGHT be the records.
