David & Eleanor (Ella) LIDDELL

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Jim The Ferret Report 3 Jan 2015 22:02

I'm helping on a WW1 school project. The man of interest married Eleanor (Tait) Liddell in Edmonton, North London in 1912. She is the daughter of David.
1911 English census shows David aged 46 (b 1865 Paxton or Paston Berwickshire) as a widower with 4 children alive - Eleanor (shown as Ella) and Janet are with him.
Ella born Glasgow c 1892, Janet in Berwick c 1888.
I don't have access to check Scottish records if applicable.
Any help welcomed.
Thanks
Jim

The children are on the English 1901 census. What Scottish records do you want. bmd's are on Scotlands people which is a pay to view site - cheap at £7 for 30 credits which will get you a page of results for 1 credit and 5credits to look at/download a birth certificate over 100 years old, marriage 75 years and death 50 years

Yes - it is Arthur Evans that I am tracking. He was one of the first members of the RAF in 1918. I have not got David's marriage - presumably to a SPIERS.

Many thanks to all for the help.
