Hello Sylvia

You've hit the nail dead-centre!

Alice Maud Mary Kermode and Allan Gorry are my paternal grandparents, and Catherine Alice is their first born. At a date I have been unable to determine they moved to Liverpool and had another eight children of whom my father, George, was one. They appear in the 1891 and 1901 Liverpool censuses as 'Garry'.

Allan died in 1915 but Alice survived until 1949. I haven't traced a marriage date or place, and am toying with the thought that they may have eloped to Scotland (Gretna Green?), but I think I'll wait until the Liverpool bits of the Lancs UKBMD transcriptions are completed before looking elsewhere.

Is your interest purely academic, or are we related somehow?

Alan
