Do they still recite "Land of the Pilgroim Fathers" at Thanksgiving?
Hi Steve
You are possibly righter than I am. I remember in Robert Griffiths'
The History of the Royal and Ancient Park of Toxteth (1997) he spoke about her living in Wavertree and I suppose I assumed she was born there as well. I have amended the above post to correct it according to your information. See also a nice portrait of Mrs. Hemans at

"Land of the Pilgrim Fathers" may be recited at Thanksgiving in some places in the US at Thanksgiving though I have not heard it.
Thanks for the link to your literary Liverpool site, Steve.
Is the reputed smallest house in England still in Wavertree?
Chris
