Hi list! I am so glad you are now available! Birkenhead seems to fall into the cracks in all the other lists. As new info becomes available, you will surely be able to inform us. My interest is WATERSON. My husband's family moved from the Isle of Man to Birkenhead around 1840. His grandfather, Thomas Waterson, was born there around 1843, and his father, Thomas Luther Water- son, was also born there around 1884. Thomas Luther W. left for the USA before WWI, but there are still Watersons in the area. I would be interested in any and all info anyone could supply about the family. They were Church of England, and lived near downtown in a terrace which was torn down about 20 years ago. I hope we can find a cousin or two. This is coming from HOT sunny Florida!
