Hi List Does anybody know anything about Kerrs Field of Pasture Road/Leasowe Road in the 1920's I have this address for 3 deaths on 1 death cert it says of Henry's Bungalows on another "Hazlehurst" and "The Jimmy "and a birth at "Uncle Tom's Cabin" All Kerrs Field, Moreton Wallasey. So was this a field with cabins or houses on or could it be caravans, or was it a road? I have found Uncle Toms Cabin on the 1901 census after 19 Leasowe Road I would really love to Know exactly where this was and a photo if at all possible as this is where my Father In Law was born in 1926 Any help appreciated Sylvia (Wirral)

Hello List There was a family joke amongst the Greenlys that always mystified us younger members of the family. If anyone was spoken of as coming from Moreton someone was bound to say " I bet they had a ring around their posterior!" (although they did not usually use the polite word!) Apparently, I learnt later, Moreton Shore and Kerrs Field was a favourite venue for Sunday School trips, family picnics etc, so the Field was provided with rudimentary toilet facilities. Legand has it that the toilet seats were just rough holes sawn in a plank, unsmoothed or polished, hence the afore mentioned ring around the posterior. Apologies to the more sensitive members of the list! :-) Not really of Fam Hist interest but useful background?

Hi Dave your mail reminds me we had a tent on moreton shore and i allways remember sleeping in it on school holidays and weak-ends some other members of my family said we were never allowed to stay overnight but I'm shore we did. The ring saying reminds me when we were evacuated to North wales Clubmoor to Rhudllan they opened an old school long closed for us in Castle St. just down from the Castle very old and delapidated the toilets were 2 large rooms with a long bench down one side with one drainage chanel the boys room was upstream and some bright spark used to light paper boats and send them down the chanel until he was caught and caned Happy days Cheers George Dave Greenly <adg532@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: Hello List There was a family joke amongst the Greenlys that always mystified us younger members of the family.
