My Grandad was born in Birkenhead, but his family returned to Ireland when he was 4. I want to find the family, his Uncles and Aunt who remained there. I have their names but that is it. One of his uncles was in navy but had no children. Can anyone advise me what to do next. Thanks :-)

Peter McArdle was my great grandfather but he died in 1919, when my grandad was 4. His brothers were John Henry, he was in navy, Tom, ? and his sister Sarah. Their father was called John his wife was English but I don't know her name. I imagine she was from Birkenhead and thats why they went there when they were evicted in Ireland.
