Hi June,
Sorry I can't help directly but, from what I know of my family background ís that my great grand father, came to Liverpool with his brother, I'm guesing this was around the late 1800s. Though I cant be too sure. My Aunt was tracing the family history some years back. But due to my service in the forces, and a slight in family dispute, I havent heard from her in a good few years.
I do know that my GGfather was a Cobbler in Steble St. in the Dingle. And our side of the family all lived around the Docks/Mill St. area there(some still do).The other side, that being his brother were all located around in/around Speke. I know the surname is/was rare in Liverpool, so there could be a connection there. Unfortunately I am now living in Germany!
Best regards and good luck in your search.
