    Default Garston - Speke - Toxteth

    Hi,



    I am researching my family tree and am doing ok on my fathers side (McPoland traced to Caryl St and Jago to 23 Park Street) however I have hit a big brick wall when it gets to my mother's side I know that my nan was Nuttall and her mother's surname was Core (and that she was about 7ft tall) they were from Garston and I think that they ran a business but not sure what? I believe that they lived not far from Bryant and May. My grandad's surname was Wales and I know that his mother's name was Williams. Both my mother and father grew up in speke

    Any help, ideas or memories would be really appreciated.

    Thanks in anticipation

    Default Re: Nutall family.

    Hi Jojomin!
    This may not be much help to you but, there was a family named Nuttall that lived in Speke Road Gardens, which was opposite the Bryant & May Match factory on Speke Rd, they had a boy 'Jimmy' and a girl named 'Joan' (I think) Jimmy would be about 75/76 years old now, his sister a bit younger. Jimmy was in the 6th Allerton Boy Scout Group in Kettle Nook, Garston in the mid to late 40's. Not sure if they had a business though. Cheers Best of Luck with your search.

    I think this info may be correct. My nan Alice Beatrice Core Nuttall was born in Oct 1916 Thanks for the info. Gives me a good starting point, what was your point of reference?

    Taffy

    My grandfather was Richard Wales born 28 October 1913 (I think) mothers maiden name was Williams he married Alice Nuttall. Other than what Karen has mentioned above that is all I know from my mothers side.

    Hiya Jo ,
    I searched for the marriage on Lancashire BMD. & Sarah's birth was found on Free BMD.

    Karen,

    It looks pretty positive, it's a pity they didn't have photos on census records as I understand it Sarah was about 7 foot tall. Thanks for your help.

    Elaine McPoland - that's not one I have heard of before there are alot of McPoland's though what school was it?

    Default Jago

    doing my family history i have found that my grandmother's name Jago, from toxteth. It was a large family. the last time i went to liverpool via toxteth i noticed that there is a cafe with an old sign saying Jago's cafe (on park road - i think). If anyone knows anything about this or the people who ran it i would love to hear. If possible anyone has any pics that would be fab too.

    Thanks
    Jo
