Looking for Scanlan/Scanlon - Liverpool

John Scanlan married Catherine Larkin in Liverpool in 1907. The witnesses to their marriage were William Gleeson and Elizabeth Larkin, Catherine's sister.

In 1960 Catherine was living in Lathom Street Liverpool with Margaret Ward, who I believe was her married daughter. Also living at the same address were Catherine and Michael Ralston, again it's her daughter and husband. I've checked to see if there were any children from these 2 marriages but haven't found anything.

I don't know if John and Catherine had any children before 1911 as the mothers maiden name isn't on the register. Hoping to find descendants of these people. Can anyone help?

I did see that one but I couldn't find a marriage with a Mary that would be in the right area. It's difficult if there isn't another initial. With the other ones that I found above, I actually got the mothers name from the will of my great aunt and the electoral register at that time. It was quite by chance that I even got this far! I'm hoping that there may be other descendants out there looking for relatives too.
