WE are trying to find living relations from the Lancashire area and hope Citizen readers will be able to help.

In 1908, George Frederick Williams (born 1907) left Liverpool with his parents, Sophia and John George Williams (born 1881) on the Rippingham Grange ship and sailed to New Zealand.

Left behind in Liverpool were John George's parents, William Charles and Mary (ne Halpin) Williams and siblings of John George - Charles Williams (born 1880) and Margaret (Maggie) Jane Williams (born 1879). William Charles Williams died in November 1913 and Mary Williams in July 1925.

Charles Williams was still alive in December 1954, aged 74, living at 58 Gascoyne Street, Liverpool 3.

After being out of contact for more than 90 years, our branch of the Williams family would love to hear from our English branch the family.
