Hi Mandy, I am a newbie and hope that this is the right place. I am looking for my paternal grandparents and beyond. Their name was Murphy.
My father, William Murphy, was born at 29 Spurgeon Street and he had 4 siblings;Letitia, Lesley,John and Frederick
My grandfather was also William Murphy (married an Elizabeth Hamilton) and it is thought he was born in Limerick.
My great grandfather was also called William and it is thought he worked as a builder and had some connection with George Henry Lee's(possibly helped to build it?).It is thought he may have been from Wallasey.
Grandfather William dies in 1935 and was then living at 35 Knocklaid Road/Street. Had served in WW1 in Kings Liverpool Irish and may well have been invalided out.
I have no further information on residences I' afraid. at this stage any help is most welcome. Merry Christmas, PPym
Forgive me if this site has already been posted but I've ordered a couple of CDs online as a trial.
Will let all know, when they arrive, if they're the 'real' thing.

Hmmm, Co-incidence? or do great minds think alike?? :-)
Hello.
I live in Canada, so research is remote and difficult. I am researching my Great Grandparents, Edward William Becker and Sophia Caroline Becker.. There name was Becker when they arrived in Liverpoo(pre 1878)l. They changed their name to Baker pre 1901. They lived
Becker 1881 Toxteth Park
Becker 1891 9 Stopford Street Toxteh Park
Baker 1901 Toxteth
Baker 1911 46 Isaac Street Liverpool S
All these were taken from Census. Their children were on their own by 1911. Trying to find children around 1911. Unsure of first names. Would this be too large of a task to look up?
Thank you,
Sharon

Thanks Philip,nice to have it confirmed.He was married to an Ann Lee. Family scuttlebutt has it that she was something to do with the George Henry Lee family so the plot thickens. Regards, Pauline
I wonder if you could have a look at Edinburgh Road, L`pool 7 in the 1938 directory - we lived in 56, opposite was an Italian lady I used to visit as a toddler. Not sure if the odd numbers were directly across from the evens - maybe checking on the odds from say 47 to 65 would cover the possibilities - anyone in those with an Italian name, please? ( I used to call her `Mrs.Afternoon`, I think that was the closest I could get to her name!) Many thanks.
Could someone check 35 collins street for a lopano murphy and see where she was born pse?
She appears in the 1881 census with a shoemaker husband called William and the other occpnts being Margaret (19) and John(3). I am wondering if the boy's age is 3mths rather than 3yrs for reasons outlined below.
In the 1871 census William appears with a wife called Joanna(who appears to have died in 1881 and a son John aged 7ys(who is poss. the one who died in1880 aged 17) and a dau.Margaret aged 9yrs. Then shown as living at a 52 ?Toxteh Park
So far I have drawn a blank.
Am I dealing with 2 families or 1? Lopana's place of birth and maiden name would help. Can anyone assist me in solving this conundrum pse? Regards, Pauline
Sorry, I ommitted to thank you for the confirmation of John Grogan Murphy's address at 1 Bright Street. Ppym
Thank you for the info - perhaps the family moved in soon after, or maybe the lady was a relation/in-law of the householder - I suppose I`ll never know now...
Hi, I am new to researching Liverpool ancestors, my family come from the Sussex area, but now I am trying to trace my husbands family. His gg-grandfather John O'Brien originally came from Ireland to Liverpool sometime between his birth in abt 1821 and the birth of his son Daniel in abt 1850 John's wife Margaret was also born in Ireland and I don't know if they married in Ireland or Liverpool.
The only information I have on John is from the 1861 census when the family lived in 69, Blenheim Street and his occupation is joiner. I know the family were catholic and that some of his grandchildren were baptised in St Joseph's RC church.
I am hoping that maybe you would check your directories for me and see if you have any entries for him - it has been suggested he came from County Mayo but I need some more information to pursue that.
Basically I would appreciate any help with this brick wall. Thanks Cathy.

The only information I have on John is from the 1861 census when the family lived in 69, Blenheim Street and his occupation was joiner. In this census they have 3 other children
Thomas age 5 born in Liverpool Lancashire, Margaret age 3 born in Liverpool Lancashire
and John age 1 born in Liverpool Lancashire
I know the family were catholic and that some of his son Thomas' children were baptised in St Joseph's RC church Liverpool.
I am hoping that maybe you would check your directories for me and see if you have any entries for him - it has been suggested he came from County Mayo but I need some more information to pursue that. If you have any other ideas of places I can look I would appreciate it - I have found the Liverpool history project which gave some great information on baptisms of some of his grandchildren but the coverage doesn't help with John.
Basically I would appreciate any help with this brick wall. Thanks Cathy.
Could you please look up any Purcell in the 1938 directory, possibly around the Kinglake St area. Thank you very much.

Hi please could you have a look for my friends Grandparents James and Eva Barnes, they owned a Chippy in Scotland Road, Liverpool in the 1920's/30's but that is all we know. Many thanks, Carolyn
Hi
Frank Young was my wife's father. He was born in West Derby and trained / worked at the Liverpool Echo as a compositer. We strongly believe from birth records that he had a sister Alice born 1916. I suspect that the father was called up in 1916 (when conscription was announced) and sometime thereafter the family moved to a different part of Liverpool as no other births for the Young /Bell partnership can be found for West Derby. During the 1939-45 war, Frank was stationed in Cornwall and also spent time in North Africa. After the war Frank married and settled in Liskeard Cornwall. Frank was very relunctant to talk about his Liverpool past and did not go back or write.
I have traced the father on the 1901 and 1911 census. We would like to know very much about Alice or any other siblings of Frank
Hi Bernard,
I cannot see her on the 1911 census or the the 1911 directory, she is listed on the 1901 census.

Hi Mandy,

Thanks.
