I'm in the Manchester direction, about one hour by motorway from the Wirral, David- and thanks for your information which may help to carry my own research further.
My great-grandfather was a mayor of Wallasey in the 1920s and his seven children spent most of their lives on the Wirral, too. He himself lived in New Brighton on Grafton Road. My mother also comes from New Brighton.
I'll keep in touch re: any further developments regarding Ellesmere Port as the birthplace of our great-grandparens. The fact that it was such a small place at the time may point to a family connection.
Incidentally, my great-grandmother's birthplace is given as Sutton. This might also prove a pointer as to where they might have lived.
