Liverpool/Birkenhead records

Quite a lot of trees on Ancestry with the name, all born and lived around the Liverpool area, so once you have some concrete evidence ie names registered and used of grandparents and also the information Merry has listed if possible it probably won't be too difficult .

Have you tried using the supposed birth surname as mmm with nothing in the main surname field?

I assume you're asking Anstey this question but I did, bearing in mind the registration is probably in the Jan qtr of the next year and I found nothing. In fact I looked in Scotland and Ireland, but I didn't search NI records.

It's irritating because the name at time of death isn't probably the name on the birth registration so the 1939 Register won't marry up birth and death so will be closed and remain closed. Of course I would think the name is a name in the family.

I thought AN had been told what the birth surname was supposed to be and that was the name she couldn't find a reg for, when she wrote:

I have the alleged birth name, but can't find a birth registration in England and Wales to match it.

I see the Ancestry tree for the family says Birkenhead rather than Liverpool for the birth that can't be found. The tree uses the post adoption surname.
