Am trying to trace the Moorhouse Family fom Liverpool, this is what we have

Douglas Henry Moorhouse Born 1924 Mother Doris Catherine Moorhouse. No father named, Home Address 171 earle Road Liverpool

Prisclla Kay Born 1928 Parents Richard Kay & Sarah Gertiude Kay (Clayton) Home Address 12, Mason St, Much Woolton.

Douglas & Prisclla Married at The Registory Office Liverpool North Jan 1948.

Son John Born 1948. On the Marrage Cert Douglas's no father, Prisclla's as deceased. Whitness Jessie Kay (Sister?) & E. J. Perry

Prisclla Died in 1949 at 42, Belmont Road .Which we know is a Hospital. Home address was 351, Queens Drive, Liverpool. I have the Birth, Marrage Certs for Douglas & Prisclla. And Prscilla's Death Cert.

When Prisclla died John was brought up by his Grandmother Doris.

John Moorhouse Died in 1996 in Oldham.

Have Richard & Sarah Kay on Polling Records at 12, Mason St, Much Woolton.

On the Marrage Cert Douglas lives at 351 Queens Drive Walton & Prisclla at 71, Garway Woolton.

We know John went to school in Liverpool before he joined the Army and Married Sandra Holden. On leaving the Amy John & Sandra lived in Oldham. We know John's history after he Married.

But have hit a brick wall on tracing Doris & her son Douglas, Also the kays. I hope someone may be able to help. Thank you

Sheila

This is Kay and I will see if I can help trace your ancestors.

Initially I have been looking for the birth of Doris Moorhouse and the only one that fits the dates and area is as follows:

Doris Moorhouse			Pedigree
	Female

Event(s):

Birth:

13 JAN 1908

Liverpool, Lancashire, England

Christening:

Death:

Burial:

I also found both of them, she is down on Douglas's Birth Cert as Doris Catherine.

We don't think she was married either, anything you can find will br great

I've not forgotten you Sheila - still searching. Check back again soon.

I'm sorry it's taken so long to get back to you and I'm also sorry I'm not going to be very helpful! I've been looking to see if I can find Doris to see if that leads us to her parents/siblings BUT the problem is we have no firm leads, purely because we don't know who we are actually looking for in the 1901 census - there are other Doris Moorhouses listed and we can't be sure just which one is correct.

Even the suggestion that you apply for Douglas' birth certificate doesn't mean we will be any further forward on the parentage - it's not out of the question that only the mother's name will be listed - that wouldn't give us any leads on HER parents.

I'm starting to feel the only thing we can do is literally wait for the release of the 1911 census - I know this is not what you want to hear but I'm struggling to think of any other way around it.

However, if I do come across something for you, naturally I will be pleased to post it. Likewise, if you think of anything else I can help with, do let me know. My apologies that I've not been at all helpful on this matter!
