Forgive my naturally sceptical nature but unless I have proof myself I trust very few modern histories of Liverpool as like I have said before, most 'Histories of Liverpool' are built on nothing but 'Histories of Liverpool'. Basically, because someone wrote it down and got it published it is taken at face value.

I understand that those people are not doing it on purpose or out of malice... just that they have been misinformed and don't have the time/resources to do research. I'm very lucky that I have both of the above.



There are things in this case which do not stack up. From the documentary evidence I will put my money on Pete E's belief than hmtmajs.

Memory is a notorious thing to rely on. You've probably read numerous accounts of these graves being found (not least by Keith Andrews and his sidekick Muttley, sorry, Slemen.) and this has influenced your belief. Indeed, until I started looking at this thread I didn't even know that there was a Junior School behind the Church, I thought the entire St Oswalds school was the one fronting St Oswalds street!
