It has been suggested that I add an interactive message board to my web site and would appreciate your collective opinion on this idea. If one was added would you use it? What topic heading do you think would be of interest. Brickwalls is one obvious subject heading. Would anyone be interested in assisting me in monitoring / moderating the board. Ideas, suggestions most welcome. Let the discussion commence Regards to all Andrew www.andysutton.co.uk

I am interested in the name TREADWELL in Liverpool and Wirral from about 1875. I would be interested to hear from anyone with connections or information? David Railton

Andrew, I remember Scotts the butchers in Seacombe and Liscard - they must have been in business well into the second half of the 20th century. I also seem to remember that there was a butchers in Neston by the name of Scotts until the 1990s - they may have been connected. My great great grandfather, Thomas Chadwick, had a butcher's shop in Seacombe from the 1880s to the early 1900s. I believe that previously he may have worked for Scotts at Liscard and New Brighton. There is a small piece about Frank Fawcett Scott in the book "The Inviting Shore: A Social History of New Brighton" by Anthony M Miller.

Dear Dave Greenly Thank you for your email. How interesting about 1 Elm Grove. Thank you. Yes please, I would be very grateful for the photo. It would be interesting to see it. Angela Treanor

Dear Listers I understand that my 2nd great-grandfather lived at 1 Elm Grove, Tranmere from 1868-80 and I would be interested to know what this area looks alike or what this place was? I would like to know if there are any images of this road to look up or whatever. What Tranmere looked alike? Any information is very welcome. Angela Treanor New Zealand

Hi When I lived in Birkenhead, I think No1 Elm Grove would have been at it's junction with Whetstone Lane. Houses only on one side of the road, the other having a high stone wall of Holt Hill Convent - all new houses now , of course. I have to go to B'head and if it's the same I'll try a photo!

Dear Listers My great-great- grandfather Rev William Henry King was a Baptist Minister at the Grange Road Baptist Church at Birkenhead from 1868 to 1880. He lived at Tranmere with his wife Jane King and their family. I would be grateful if you would look up the 1871 Census for me please. Thank you in advance. Angela Treanor New Zealand
