    3. From : [email protected] Subject : Cobden St, Tranmere. Wirral Date : 8th. Oct. 2004 Dear List, For some years, I've been trying to sort out the identify of the occupant living at 34, Cobden Street, Tranmere, Wirral, during 1900. According to information received, the 1900 Gore's Directory, shows the occupant as Henry Joseph C. PRICE, of whom, I later I discovered was by occupation, a Shipwright. Born in Wervin, Cheshire, and died in Birkenhead, in September, 1905. aged 76. From Library information obtained, I am informed that the 1901 census shows the occupant at 35, Cobden St. Tranmere, to have been a Henry John C. PRICE, a Postal Clerk age 35. born at Muchwenlock, Salop. And that, Henry Joseph PRICE, was the occupier of a dwelling at 50, George Street, Birkenhead, age 71, a Joiner. Hence, I then assumed Henry John, to have been the son, of Joseph. Until recently, when it occurred to me to search the 1881 census, for the birth of a Henry John, age 15, born in Muchwenlock, Salop. and could only find one Henry PRICE, age 15 a Scholar, birth place spelled "Wemlock" of whom, the census shows him to be the son of a John PRICE, a Railway Guard, living at 127, Beckwith St. Birkenhead, Cheshire. As no middle name is mentioned, I would be very grateful if SKS would please check the 1891 census for any further clues that may help to sort out this problem of identification. Any help would be most gratefully received. Kind regards to all. Ted.
