Hi, I don't know whether I'm on the right forum for this but I have some books that might be useful to members. They Are: Ancestral Trails Second Edition by Mark Herber, How to Research Local History by Pamela Brooks, Tracing your Family History by Anthony Adolph and The Liverpool Scottish 1900-1919...

The Rope Works where as previously stated owned by Garnick & Bibby and where major employers from the mid 1800's through to 1960's. I had many relatives who worked in the Rope Works in Old Swan and as Daggers has already said, it ran from Ronald Street L13 through to St Oswald's Street. The back of ...

Hi Tina,

Thanks for the welcome, had a break from researching but just starting up again. It's amazing how much you forget when you have a lay off and then cover ground you've already done, or is that an age thing!

regards.

Thanks Mary and Vic, I'll have a look at the site you've put up Mary. The hospital was built in the 1830's by a Liverpool Family by the name of Harrison who were rich merchants and over many years it was among other things a Lunatic Asylum catering for people who were mainly epileptics. The Hospital...

Hi,
Does anyone know if patients records are available for the Military Hospital in Maghull (formely Mosside Maghull)

Thanks

As promised on 6th August 2012 here is a feed back from my query on Coroners Reports. The records office have at last sent me a copy of my Grandma's Coroners report along with signed statements from her Daughter (my Aunt) and from the manager at Westminster House where she was a resident. It seems s...

Hi Jan and Blue, Just to keep you up to speed on my Coroner's Report posting, the Coroner's office have responded to my request to view my Grandma's report and they have replied that because of the re-organisation and refurbishment of the Liverpool Records Office, Coroners reports are only visited e...

Hi, I got a quick response back from L.R.O. and they do hold coroners records but I have to write to the coroner's court for permission to view them at the following address: City of Liverpool Coroner's Court St George's Hall (William Brown Street Entrance) St George's Place Liverpool L1 1JJ I will ...

Thank you both for your responses and information, I've taken your advice and written to L.R.O. I'll let you know what response I get,

Roy

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to get a coroners report. My Grandma died after a fall in Westminster House in 1954 and as a consequence there was a post mortem and a coroners report. Are these reports available to the public?

Thank You,

Roy Montrose

Hi Sue, Pleased you've found the burials you were looking for, but just a word of warning. I have several relatives buried in Holy Trinity including a brother who died in 1947 aged 6 months. There is no record of grave locations, just names and dates of burials. I have spent many long hours trying t...

Hi Dodoe and Tina, Thanks for looking for me. :lol: I have all the Census's for the Jones Family while living at 'Cades' up to and including 1911 plus Sophia's Will. I was trying to find out if any of the Family continued to live at 'Cades' after Sophia died in 1922. Sophia left the house to her Dau...

Hi All, Can somebody kindly do a look up for me please and tell me who lived at 'Cades' 5 Birchfield Road, Edge Lane, Liverpool 7 around 1938 using any of the Liverpool Street Directories? My Jones Family lived there up to at least 1922 when the house was left to Gertrude Eveline Moore (nee Jones). ...

Hi Val, My Great Grandfather Richard Montrose died in Rainhill Hospital in 1937 and he was buried in West Derby Cemetery which was local to were his Family lived, so it looks as though he's been taken from the Hospital and buried at West Derby, probably at the wish of his Family. I think the nearest...

Hi Greg, There is a James Patrick Meehan born West Derby in the March quarter of 1890 (Vol 8b page 282) on Free BMD. There is also a James Meehan born in Liverpool in the December Quarter of 1889 (Vol 8b Page 64) The only James Meehan on Free BMD born in 1899 was born in Todmorden. If you haven't al...

Hi, Just as a follow up to my previous posting, a Robin Riley of 'Friends of St James's' phoned me today and informed me that as far as he is aware the only record of grave locations and records of headstones etc is recorded by hand in a couple of note books which are currently held by Liverpool R.O...

Hi All, Thanks for your replies and suggestions. I wrote to a Gentleman called Mike Faulkner from 'Friends of St James's' who has got back to me to say altough he's never seen it personally, he's reliably informed that there is a plan of the Cemetery at Liverpool R.O. which seems to support Katie's ...

Hi All, Just a long shot really, but I wonder if anyone know's where I can get hold of a plan showing grave locations or at least area locations of St James's Cemetery (the one adjacent to the Cathedral). I've tried all the places I would normally look including the excellant site at http://www.stja...

Hi All, The sailing list that I've got describes the Maria as a brig, as it does other ships but your right Hilary, I think a brig was smaller than other sailing ships. Here is a description of a brig from Wiklopedia: '' A brig is a sailing vessel with two square-rigged masts. During the Age of Sail...

Hi all, Now I've got over the shock of my email account and consequently other accounts including Liverpool and S.W.Lanc's Genealogy being hacked into I'm back on the research trail and asking for some help from you good people. But before I ask the question I'd like to put on record my thanks to Ka...
