From : [email protected] Subject : Cobden St, Tranmere. Wirral Date : 7th. Oct. 2004 Dear List, For some years, I've been trying to sort out the identify of the occupant living at 34, Cobden Street, Tranmere, Wirral, during 1900. According to information received, the 1900 Gore's Directory, shows the occupant as Henry Joseph C. PRICE, of whom, I later I discovered was by occupation, a Shipwright. Born in Wervin, Cheshire, and died in Birkenhead, in September, 1905. aged 76. But from information since obtained, I am informed that the 1901 census shows the occupant at 35, Cobden St. Tranmere, to have been a Henry John C. PRICE, a Postal Clerk age 35. born at Muchwenlock, Salop. And that, Henry Joseph PRICE, was the occupier of a dwelling at 50, George Street, Birkenhead, age 71, a Joiner. Hence, I then assumed that Henry John, was Joseph's son, Recently, it occurred to me to search the 1881 census, for the birth of a Henry John, age 15, born in Muchwenlock, and could find only one Henry PRICE, age 15, a Scholar, birth place Wemlock, of whom, appears to be the son of a John PRICE, a Railway Guard, living at 127, Beckwith St. Cheshire, Birkenhead, Cheshire. As no other middle name is mentioned, I would be very grateful if SKS would please check the 1891 census for any further clues that may help to sort out this problem of identification. Any help would be most gratefully received. Kind regards to all. Ted.

I have just posted the following 2 pages on the site Census returns - 1851 Saughall Massie at http://www.andysutton.co.uk/1851saughall_massie.htm and Historical Account - Hoylake Free Press 1914 - Changes - Contribution 10 at http://www.andysutton.co.uk/hoylake/newspaper_10.htm Regards Andrew

For Gordon and Alan, I must apologise to you both, I did not notice that the mail from Jackson Mitchel had NOT come via the list; he had sent it direct to my address with an attachment. Below is the mail I received from Jackson. The attachment was a copy of the 1871 census enumerator's page. <hi Bob, I don't have the 1861 census, but I have the 1871 census. I'll send you a census jpeg of what I believe are perhaps the parents of your James Piercey. I descend from (it seems) your James' sister Mary 'Piercey', b. Seacombe 1852. (I have her birth certificate). Spellings vary. James I have as being born 17 Mar 1850, Wallasey. On the 1871 census his parents are Joseph 'Percey', 49, b. Picton Cheshire; Elizabeth (nee Wilson), 47 b. Crewe, also Francis 12, Ann 8, Margaret 6. I may be able to look for James on the '71 census later. Seems he's not on the '81, as you probably know. Regards, Jackson> Upon closer inspectoin of the page, I am of the opinion that Jackson's "Margaret" is actually Martha. Consequently, here is a copy of my response:- <Hello Jackson, Thanks for the info it helps a lot. However, I am confused as to where you have got the birthdate of James! in 1871 he would have been 21 and is clearly not on the jpeg that you have sent. Also, the younger daughter appears to be Martha and not Margaret???????????? I can confirm that James is on the 1881 Census, in Sheffield with three children, as far as I am able to ascertain so far he had a total of 10; do you want me to send the information I have so far? The spellings vary:- Percey, Piercey and Pearcey - all the same family. It looks like the enumerator wasn't sure so he put all of them down. LOL. I think that Joseph and Elizabeth appear on the IGI, probably under marriages but I may have seen them as parents to James; either way, the spelling was Percey. CONFUSED? - well so am I.> I hope that this clears up any confusion out there in Listland!!!!! Thanks and Regards to all, Bob. _________________________________________________________________ Use MSN Messenger to send music and pics to your friends http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger

Helen, i was born on the wirral of a catholic father and cof e mother i would say at least half the people were of irish catholic origins. The dock building in the 18 and 19 century was a big draw also the great famin in ireland sent over a million to uk most through liverpool. I am sure liverpool record office have figures but very few catholic church records have been copied and even less on line. I would be interested in any catholic church records for birkenhead.THANK YOU.

Hi Keith, I was born in Bromborough, but brought up in Pensby, then later moved to Birkenhead, and so on... What I would like to establish is the number of Catholics and of Irish (first and second generation), and then compare the figures to Port Sunlight, and perhaps Bromborough Pool. I don't know if there is enough archival information to able me to do that though. As you said Keith, the best bet is probably Liverpool Record Office.

a lot of irish people lived in the clifton road and the woodlands area of birkenhead

Hello everyone, I would like to get to grips with some social history. I would be particularly interested at this stage in trying to find out statistical information regarding the numbers of Irish people living on the Wirral and the Liverpool area, and also the number of Catholics living in the same areas. Is there a breakdown of ethnicity and/or religion for the period circa 1890 to 1950? Where would I find such information? Best wishes, Helen

Hi Ruth Many thanks for your reply. I've really hit a brick wall on this one, so I'll give you the exact details just in case something rings a bell. I have the 1851 census index for Liverpool and can't find them there. I have had an agent search for Margaret Anne's birth without luck and keep looking on freebmd for a marriage between Thomas Dickinson and Ada Brown. I haven't had a search done for the marriage, as it could easily be a second marriage in either Birkenhead or Liverpool. You'll understand this more when you look below. Regards Debbie Hong Kong Descendants of Thomas Dickinson Generation No. 1 1. THOMAS1 DICKINSON was born 1823 in Liverpool Iron Founder. He married ADA BROWN.

Hello again, Bob Just as a matter of interest, the 1851 Census has :- HO107/2173 folio 131 Thornton Hough (Neston) James PIERCEY, 31, ag labourer, CHS Trafford Anne, wife, 29, CHS Barnston Maryann, daur, 2, LAN Liverpool Marget, daur, 1 month, CHS Thornton Hough and HO107/2174 folio 264 Liscard (St John) Thomas JONES, 55, journeyman sail maker, CHS Oxton Ellen, wife, 53, LAN Liverpool Thomas, son, M, 25, journeyman sail maker, LAN Liverpool William, son, U, 22, warehouseman, LAN Liverpool Mary, daur, U, 21, LAN Liverpool Richard, son, U, 18, sail maker appr, LAN Liverpool Ellen, daur, U, 17, LAN, Liverpool Ann, daur, M, 23, sail maker's wife, LAN Liverpool Robert, son, 15, servant boy, LAN Liverpool Catherine, daur, 13, LAN Liverpool Ellen HUGHES, grand daur, 9, LAN Liverpool Mary A HUGHES, grand daur, 5, LAN Liverpool Frances PERCY, nurse child, 1, CHS Liscard Stephen MADDOX, nephew, U,18, LAN Liverpool The name of the nurse-child in the second entry is rather difficult to distinguish and could in fact be either Frances or James. I've chosen the former simply because the age has been placed in the Female column rather than the Male. Significantly, however, the Cheshire BMD site doesn't have the birth of a Frances PERCY whereas it does have a James PERCEY. The 1851 Index also has a PERCY at reference 2175 folio 411, but you'll have to ask another SKS to look this one up for you since I don't have the 2175 CD. Regards Gordon

Hello List I have just discovered that the Cheshire Parish Register Project database is back up and running, looks like Liverpool University have taken it over from Manchester. I haven't seen this information posted to the list but apologies if it already has and I missed it. It is a very useful site for those researching the Wirral area. http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/ Regards, Jen

Hello Gordon, Thanks for the response, I am intending to get a cert but needed to resolve both the place of his birth and the spelling of his name. There are currently three spelling variations, all of which appear attributed to this man's immediate family; two of wich appear on the same census form and two different places of origin shown on the IGI and 1881 Census. I hope that you can, therefore, appreciate what I am trying to achieve. Many thanks for the offer, I shall probably do the Chester "run" when a shopping trip looms large on the horizon.

Hello Bob Forgive me if you already know this, but you can purchase a copy of your wife's ancestor's birth certificate for £7-00 + an SAE. Go to :- http://cheshirebmd.org.uk/ Click on Births then Search The Births Indexes. Insert Date Range 1846-1850, Region WIRRAL, Surname PERCEY (note the spelling), Initial J. Click on the reference number on the right hand side, print off the resultant application form, add your remittance/SAE and a few days later you'll have the certificate detailing date & place of birth, parents' names, father's occupation and mother's maiden name. As regards the 1861 Census there are filmed copies at the Chester Records Office and at Birkenhead Library - both of which are within daily striking distance of Wigan (which I believe is where you live?). Let me know if you're unable to make the journey because of disability or such-like and I'll see if I can find time to look for young James for you on one of my occasional visits to Birkenhead Library.
