There is a school of thought that says that his actual birthplace is difficult to pin down with certainty.
The Lower Lodge was demolished in 1863 for the building of Otterspool Station.
Hi Philip and Taffy

I am not sure of the Lower Lodge being his birthplace though I might be wrong. I was thinking more of those seventeenth century Puritan cottages in Jericho Lane that were demolished in my lifetime (in the Sixties) around the same time as the Old Hutte at Halewood, the latter to make way for the Ford factory.
