Find Ancestors

thanks <3

Have fun! :-)

.. but do come back on here if you have any problems.

Wow I had no idea, never heard of mundia...thank you so much ....that's me for the night....cheers..

There is a very well documented tree on ancestry that has copies of certificates and photos of him and the family. He and Ada had 13 children.

I know you don't have a sub for Ancestry but they have a sister site - Mundia, which is free. http://www.mundia.com/gb/ You have to register but it costs nothing. Once you've registered (you can skip the bit about starting your tree on there, but it's not a bad idea to do one on there, too) there's a menu item "Find People" - if you use the search boxes with Andrew's details you should be able to find the one I'm referring too.

The site runs a bit slow sometimes so you have to be patient!

I was just about to look up in freebmd, thank you

This looks like his death:

England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2006
Name: Andrew Crockett
Birth Date: abt 1892
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1960
Age at Death: 68
Registration district: Liverpool South
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume: 10d
Page: 408

Thank you very much MC...interesting...I've no death date for him or his wife, just his daughter who was buried in Toxteth Cemetery in 1936.

You may have confirmed which Hugh was Ada's father too..well there is one lived in Wolfe Street in 1871 who I thought was the right one (if he stayed there near his parents of course)

Sue, I've posted all the info that was on Ancestry.

thanks MC, I don't have a subscription to ancestry...maybe soon.

Army Service:

British Army WWI Service Records, 1914-1920 about Andrew Crockett
Name: Andrew Crockett
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1893
Age at enlistment: 22
Residence: 2 CT 2 Hse Rankin St, Liverpool
Document Year: 1915
Regimental Number: 27277
Regiment Name: Cheshire Regiment
Number of images: 4

EDIT: The details of his marriage to Ada are the same. His record mentiones the birth of a daughter Florence Elizabeth b 11 April 1914, baptised 3 May. The record states that the army hadn't verified by certificate.

He deserted 25 July 1915 and was arrested 17 August 1915 and tried. It's unclear what the outcome was.

Sue - there are Liverpool parish records on Ancestry which is where I found the marriage and baptism.

Hi, Marie I don't know anything aout them really other than death date of florence, but the St. Mathew Church does fit and Ada's father hugh so at least I know I'm on the right path. I've a feeling St. Matthews was the family church but the records are only available in Liverpool archives I think.

Thank you both for your speedy replies.

Hi, I'm tying up a few ends and wondered if anyone could please find Andrew in 1891 , 1901 or 1911 census records please? His wife was born 1896 Ada Hughes born toxteth, Liverpool , maybe Andrew was born in the toxteth area too.
they had a daughter florence born 1914 toxteth but this won't help with census obviously.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
