Timothy Mcgreal
Im researching my grandfather Timothy Mcgreal born west derby. I have 2 dates of birth online records give march 1909but army demob papers say september 1908!! Timothy had 2/3 brothers and a sister.from the vague information we have as he never spoke about his family we think his father was a cattle doctor on the ships he took 2 of his sons to canada we think to one went to montreaul not sure about the other. one of the sons was a well known boxer my aunt thinks his name may of been pat? but she is unsure she also mentioned a jim/james?? she thinks the sister may of been called maggie?? again all unsure..In the 1911 census timothy was registered as living in walton on the hill workhouse in liverpool aged 2!! why was he there?? then i have found out a timothy 1909 went to canada in 1925 a john mcgreal was named as guardian then when he returned in 1928 he returned to a mrs m mcgreal of 7 netherfield place liverpool...I think timothy married in 1932 possibly to an edith birch?? really unsure about that one but they had 3 children..Timothy was a P.O.W for 4 years camp stalag 20b poland when released in 1945 he went to bradford west yorkshire...Timothy died in 1961.. It was mentioned that his mother ran the empress pub in liverpool until quite an old age??? if anyone can help me with any information i would be so grateful as we really do not know much about my granfather or his family please email me
