Hello,
I am looking for a John George WHALLEY bn 1877 ? who married Christina Wood bn 1876 Workington, Cumberland.
They married in Flyde, Blackpool in 1898.
They had a son also called John George Whalley bn 1899 in Blackpool.
Christina died 1901, leaving husband to look after baby John.
I do believe baby John went back to live with his grandparents back in Workington, Cumberland.
I can't find any more information on baby John George Whalley, hoping that someone can helpme fill in the missing pieces.

Kind Regards.
Irene Cooper.

There seem to be 3 children born of the marriage, registered in West Derby between 1921 and 1932.

They may still be alive, but you can find them on www.freebmd.org.uk

It seems that John George's grandmother, Margaret Mary Wood died in 1909.

In 1911, his grandfather John Wood is living with his son John Wood (b.ca 1890) as a Boarder with the Relph family in Workington
