My family came from the Ironbridge area of Shropshire and moved to Garston in Liverpool.
My Grandfather was John and had sisters Alice, Elizabeth, Ethel and brothers Hubert who moved to Kettering and Henry and Bertram who were killed in WW1. The family moved to Liverpool and my Grandfather married Winfred Kerr, my Grandfather was born in 1900 and died 1969, my Grandmother born 1900 and died 1949. They had children William, Harold, John (my dad), Nora, Doris, Irene and Ethel.
I have tried to find more details about their history in Garston and before that in Shropshire but seem to be hitting a brick wall
Look forward to hearing from people out there who can help me compile my family tree.

Not quite clear from your messgae what documents you have. Do you have your grandfather's birth and marriage certificates? If not and you don't how to trace them, please ask.

Since he was born 1900, the 1901 census would be a good source to search.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC)

has Bertram's death and the entry notes his father's name and address.
