    Default Help for William please.

    Hi,

    I have a burial for a William Godfrey who was buried in 1880 aged 61, in Liscard, Wirral. I don't know anything more about him, but would like to know if he is on census and who with. I know it is not a lot to work with, but hoping that he was around the same aree that he was buried in.

    Sincere apologies Emeltee, for not replying sooner. It was remiss of me. I haven't had any notifications of replies to my posts, so assumed I hadn't had any. I will try and check to see if I have said I want to be informed of replies. (I have had notifications in the past, just not recently).

    Your help is greatly appreciated and I thank you for taking the time and trouble to help me. You have provided a great deal of information that is fantastic.

    Thank you very much again,
    best wishes,
    digger2
