St. James's Church - on a triangle of Stanley Road and Stewart Street Birkenhead. My family live there in the 1870's at no. 32G. There is a lovely book available from Birkenhead Library by Bill Houldin entitled Up Our Lobby about life at Dock Cottages between 1915 and 1938. I hope this helps. Perhaps some more knowledgeable lister will give you the exact location of Dock Cottages as my map of Dock Cottages is quite old and in parts unreadable! I hope this helps.

Listers, Sorry, I sent this before I had a chance to sign it. My apologies. I have been wrestling with the census information provided by the 1881 census. According to that census, my great grandfather, John FARRALL, lived at 43, Bromborough Road, Lower Bebington, along with his wife Mary and children Susan, George, Hannah, and William. The census says, at least in Times Roman Script, that John was born in "Manly". My attempts to locate either John or his father George, in Manley in have not been successful. I recently, however, discovered that there were several FARRALL families in the County of Staffordshire, in the town of Hanley. I know from viewing US census images, that indexed transcriptions can wrong. Since the 1881 census is so popular, can SKS view the image for 43, Brombough Road, Lower Bebington, to try and determine the spelling of the birth place? Could it be "Hanly" versus "Manly"? Perhaps I have been looking in the wrong area. Any input from viewing the actual image would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Kind regards, John Farrall Burke, Virginia USA Reseaching: FARRALL, HALL, ROBERTS, BEBINGTON, DAWSON, WHITEHEAD, WHITE

Listers, For saeveral months now I have been unsuccessful in trying to locate the marriage record of my great uncle John Farrall to Ada Hall in c. 1908 - 1910. In the absence of GRO records, it has been suggested that they may have gone to Gretna Green to get married. Does anyone have knowledge of any record keeping practices for marriages at Gretna Green? Were marriages officially registered there or is Gretna Green a giant void and a waste of time? Thanks. Regards, John Farrall Burke, Virginia USA

"I can only please one person a day. This may not be your day. Tomorrow doesn't look real good either." ONLY THE MEN HAD BABIES . My ancestor William had children All named, & with birth dates & places. But his wife is not even mentioned; Of her there are not even traces. . Surely she must have existed, Was born, was a child, & had dreams. Grew up & learned how to keep house, Was a person---but nameless, it seems. . She had parents, & someplace, a home. Her brothers are listed no doubt. But she was only a girl So not really worth telling about. . She was half my ancestor's heritage; Without her he wouldn't have life. His genes are half hers, but I find 'She' was only his father's wife. . Once a girl was first "daughter", then "wife." She belonged to her father, till married, And then she belonged to her husband, And beside him, unnamed, she was buried. . How awful to think MY descendants Might search for a name for me, Be unable to find my identity, And wonder just who I might be. Author~ Dr. Dorothy Branson

Roberta Sounds like an accident in the docks or the shipyards. You might try the Birkenhead newspapers (the News and the Addvertiser) on microfilm at the Central Library - they loved to report gruesome accidents like that and there may just be family info too.
