Dear all,

I've hit a bit of a dead end with one line of my family treeing. I'm descended from a Thomas Fleetwood who was born 1795 Childwall and was one of three brothers born to Robert...

I did some research on Mill Road a few years ago as my Great Grandad died there back in 1931. Got a few pictures (including interiors) that I can scan in if you want. They're all available at...

"A total of 44 families from across Merseyside entered the competition run by Liverpool Culture Company to mark the city’s 800th anniversary.

Four of the families could trace their trees back to...

Does anyone know who 'won' this, and what the dates were...?

Also, what did "Liverpool" consist of in this context? Did it go out as far as Walton on the Hill and suchlikes...?

Molyneux, 'eh? I presume you've already found some of the Noble descendants of you have sprouted? There's a few beautiful Molyneux tombs at Sefton Church...

I'm assuming this is the house that John bought for Julia and her sister that never actually ended up with them...?

The full story's in her excellent book "Imagine This" for those interested.

This bit of map ties up nicely with the Robsart St. photo above.

Thanks for the added detail, George. I think I've got my head 'round it now!

Ah, I didn't know said photo actually had a court number given! My Nan was at Number 13. I wonder what 'name' Number 9 had? Number 13 was the salubrious "Cambridge Terrace"!

Ged,

Cheers for that. I presume the streets themselves wouldn't have been much different from the others 'round that area. I have one of Robsart Street (where my Grandmother was born) which...

Do the LRO photos of the flats being built contain any evidence of the original tenement housing...?

My Great Grandfather, John James Forsyth was born on Gordon Street off Netherfield Road, Everton in March 1890. He worked as a carter on the Docks, married in 1911, had a family of four, served in...

Ah, yes. Those streets with the handrails on...?

It's odd about that hospital. My Great Grandfather (who lived on Robsart St - right next to it) was rushed off to Mill Road Infirmary in 1921...

Thanks for that - it covers the walk from her house to her brother's house.

That's one huge hospital down by the Gordon St. end. When did that appear/disappear...?

Dear all,

Whilst looking at the story of my Great Grandfather's sister I found that, shortly after she married in 1911, she lived on Torr Street in Everton. Now, confusingly, the particular...

Thanks to both of you for the 'photos.

I continue to live in the vain hope that some travelling photographer decided to document the bridge keepers of the Liverpool area at some point in the late...

Ged, thank you for the offer!

I was at Liverpool Record Office yesterday but didn't see a great deal in relation to these areas. Of course, everything's getting packed away and packed off now...

I have, yeah. I just found it rather harder to navigate around than this. I suppose I should direct my queries there, but the message board seems a little less well looked after than this one...

Wondering if anyone can help me.

Back in the late 1800s my great great grandfather was the Bridge master on the canal and lived at "Canal Cottage" on Sefton Street (just by the site of the new...
