Hope someone out there can help. On his marriage in 1864, John Hawkins, railway guard age 26, gave his address as 62 Grange Lane, Birkenhead. I have been trying, without success, to find 62 Grange Lane in the 1861 Birkenhead census, hoping to find John Hawkins there living with his father Robert Hawkins. I have used the street and surname indexes and have even gone right through Birkenhead looking for 62 Grange Lane, but it appears to be completely missing, together with several other nos. on either side of it. I know from directories that the address existed and that Robert Hawkins was living there from the late 1850's until he died in 1882. If anyone has any bright ideas about finding 62 Grange Lane in the census, or comes across John Hawkins in 1861 or even 1871, I'd love to hear. Many thanks. Margaret.

Hi listers all: - Just thought I would post the fact that I am interested in the GLAZEBROOK family. My g'mother Elizabeth was from Birkenhead as were her mother Rebecca born abt 1848, brother James Golding, sister Sarah G. brothers William Henry and George W (possibly Washington) These names were on the 1881 census from which I can estimate their dates of birth from the ages given. Would anyone be interested or have information on the GLAZEBROOKES I would appreciate hearing from them. TIA Joyce

THE CYCLONE HAVOC ON LAND AND SEA A south westerly gale of great violence swept over Britian last week and did emmense damage both to property and shipping and loss of life. In the Mersey on saturday afternoon not far from where the MAURETANIA was at anchor, the RICHARD FISHER which was riding at anchor was swept away, before any craft could start to her aid. 4 hands were lost, nothing was seen of the schooner but the top of her masts. She left Runcorn on friday in ballast bound for the Point-of-Ayr where she was to load a cargo of coal for Plymouth. Capt William TYRELL decided to come to an anchor to wait for the weather to moderate. He was part owner of the three masted vessel built at Carrickfergus in 1876, a wooden schooner, 190 tons, 158 tons net register. The Steamer MAGNUS MAIL of Sunderland was leaving Garston Docks on Monday for Cardiff she went aground outside the south dock. The Liverpool Ramsey Steamer ELLEN VANNIN, reached Ramsey on Sunday 18hrs late. The Steamer RUNCO put into Belfast in a disabled condition 100 miles off Tory Island she lost three propeller blades and was rendered helpless and in danger of drifting on Innishtrahull Island. Holyhead saw a splendid example of heroism of the lifeboatmen of the Duke Of NORTHUMBERLAND, Steam Lifeboat, Coxswain William OWEN. she was out for seven hours. She assisted the large steamer BEN CROY which had broken down and drifted on the outside of the breakwater and had to be towed in, also rescued 9 men in waves of 30ft from the Liverpool Steamer HAROLD bound from Tynmouth to Runcorn with clay. The inward home Cunarder LUCANIA from New York disembarked its passengers at the Princes landing stage and battled for over 2 hrs before she could free herself from her berthage alongside the stage. The Ketch LILLY GORTON of Shaul, S. W. Ireland in ballast was proceeding to Carnarvon for slates was disabled and beached almost opposite Deganwy Promenade. On the Clyde the schooner yacht FREE LANCE lying in Gourock Bay was driven ashore and badly damaged. The tide at Fleetwood which should only be 25ft 5ins rose to 29ft and the ferry service was suspended. The Middle Lightship moored on the Humber off Grimsby Piers foundered , crew rescued. 10,000 people waited at Belfast to see the launch of the big liner ROTTERDAM, such was the storm the event was cancelled. A whaler containing boys from the training ship CLIO in Menai Straits who were returning from Llanddegtan was blown away seaward. Capt OWEN the Bangor Seamaster and others followed in another CLIO boat and overtook the boys picking them up. The boys boat was run aground and the boys got ashore A telegram from Gang Belgium states a violent collision occured between the British Steamers, WYOMING and ANCIENT BRITON on the Terneuzen Canal, 2nd Officer Mr Edward QUILLY of the WYOMING was thrown overboard and drowned. Both vessels seriously damaged. Jane

Hi Folks I doubt very much if Barbara actually has the 1901 census on microfiche herself, I suspect she has only looked it up at a record office near her. The microfiche is available to view at Kew and Local Record Offices throughout England and Wales if you can't get onto it on the Internet. The online service is also available at the Family Records Centre, the PRO at Kew and at other Service Centres throughout the country.

Hello To All the Birkenhead Listers, I am now starting on a new line, POTTER. Margaret ANDERSON married William POTTER in a Wirral Civil Marriage in 1872. They had 3 children, Frederick b 1874, Stuart b 1878 and Ethel b 1880 who were all born in Rock Ferry Chs.. They were shown in the 1881 census of Walton at 13 Grey Road Walton, Lancashire. Is anybody able to do a look up of the Parish Registers of Rock Ferry Wirral for my POTTER people? The family were Scottish Presbyterians. Is anybody else researching the name POTTER from Rock Ferry? Regards from Anne in Australia.

If so where? I am looking for several places here in Canada and while Ancestry.com has a lot of good people leaving messages, its not the same as this type of list.

List, Is there anyone who has access to the 1861 Birkenhead census that could check the details of the RAMSBOTTOM’s on Folio 15b?
