Hello to everyone who responded to my post and thank you all so much for taking the time to read and reply with such a lot of information. I am also in contact with someone from Toxtexth Park Cemetery who has kindly emailed me some documents including a photo of the funeral cortege. It made for some very sad reading. This has always sort of hung over the family but we never really knew what had happened. The 30 000 people who attended the funeral were mostly women - outraged at what had been done to this innocent young girl. The coroners report is horrific . What is sad is this still happens these days but people are not so shocked. We went to Google Earth and looked at the route she took. The new Street View is amazing, we were able to look at the house in Wendell Street. My mother took a virtual tour around Lodge Lane, Vandyke Street etc. and couldn't believe the change in the place, Tiber street school gone, the hospital were she nursed gone the church she married in also gone. We are hoping to come over in November and will try and find Lizzie's grave - thanks for the info regarding the grave number too.

Thank you again to YoLiverpool. My mother is going to start surfing the web again and will certainly be a regular to the site. If I find out anymore I will post it on this thread, also if anyone else has any more info I would be really grateful.
best regards to all
