Hi John - this sounds very familiar - my father is Harry Blackburn born 1923, he was also born in harebell street (66) - his mother is Harriet Eliza Gillespie who was married to James Blackburn.Her parents were Emily Jane COllard born 1864 in Bridgewater and William Collard - they moved up to Birkenhead in around 1884 and lived in Bridgewater prior to this for about 100 years.I have my tree on ancestry.co.uk as a public tree.
I have gone back to the 15th century on some lines, and one the collard line through masters back to 11th century.
Can you give me some information on Harriets siblings - i have war records of all her brothers - Harry, Richard etc and possibly who they married, but cant work forward.There is an old family story about Bill being a staunch prodistent and attending all the funerals, he also put bunting out for king billy! - i would love to get in touch!
Best wishes
Paula
