Thank you Eringobragh for the link, I thought the grave was unmarked like another Liverpool Player's grave who is being researched from the 1900 era.
.

I will be able to pass on all this information to the Ancestry Tree holder and hopefully she will be able to make contact with Doug Raisbeck.


Cheers
Maureen

Maureen...Alex Galloway Raisbeck is not in an unmarked grave but one with a "weathered" headstone...The link below also gives details of family ...

https://footballgraves.wordpress.com/2016/04/26/alex-raisbeck-rediscovering-the-grave-of-liverpools-first-superstar/

Alex Raisbeck was Secretary Manager at Halifax Town when my Uncle was a player there and signed his contract 1933-34 season

Thank you all for your replies.

You have given me some great leads, I saw the Ancestry trees with children named they did not include any births.I could only find bap of Janet.


I did make contact with one tree owner a gt granddaughter of Alexander's brother she also could not find any living relations of Alex's line.

There is a Liverpool supporter trying to put a headstone on Alex's and older Liverpool players graves, he is buried in unmarked grave in Anfield Liverpool.


Thanks again
Maureen

So possibly the 12 children - 46 credits would get the SP results and open all 9 records (around £10 with a few to spare for census and other things)

1902 - Luke - Lanarkshire Larkhall
1903 - Elizabeth Maxwell - Lanarkshire Larkhall
1904 - John Stewart - West Derby
1906 - Jane Grant - West Derby
1908 - Alexander Galloway - West Derby
1910 - Barbara Stewart - Glasgow City Maryhill
1911 or 1914 or both is 1911 one died - James Lanarkshire Larkhall
1913 - Walter Stewart - Lanarkshire Larkhall
1915 - Janet Galloway Lanarkshire Larkhall
1916 - Mary - Lanarkshire Larkhall (as Raisbech)
1919 - Robert D Lanarkshire Larkhall - (Could this be Douglas)
1920 - Thomas Grant - Lanarkshire Larkhall

Gosh, what a busy lady !!

EDIT - Births 1916 onwards are covered by the 100 year rule so you won't be able to look/download - you would have to buy the certificate.

So possibly, by manipulating Scotland's People for the Scottish births. Further manipulation would give you which district of Lanarkshire without using credits.

1 credit will let you pull up all the Raisbeck births in Scotland between 1901 and 1930 (as below) and a further 5 credits (per record) will allow you to look at and download each birth certificate. You can't look using mother's maiden name in advance unfortunately, but looking at each certificate will give you parents.

Looking on Ancestry various trees give
Alexanders parents as Luke Raisbeck and Jean "Jane" Galloway Grant

Luke's parents as James Raisbeck and Agnes Brown

Jean's parents as Robert Grant and Janet Galloway
which might help with Scottish naming patterns for Alexander's children

Children of Alexander named on Ancestry trees as follows
With dates
Luke 1902 d 1907 Gloucestershire
and Mary 1915
No dates for
Thomas, John, Jean, Janet, James, Elizabeth, Barbara

An Historical persons search on Ancestry gives the following children
Alexander, Douglas, Walter - these 3 not named on trees
and
James, Jenny, Luke, Tommy, Daisy, Elizabeth, Jean, John, Mary

The Historical list gives the 12 with possibly Jenny = Janet or Jean and Daisy = Barbara when compared to those listed in trees ??

Scotland's People - probable marriage 1901

If it helps to pinpoint where they may have lived to look for children -
