Hi Jill, My Name is Tony Farley, I lived in Birkett St, where Edmondsons lemonade factory was, as kids we used to work on the lemonade wagons on a Saturday or school holidays. no health and safety then, by working I mean we went out with a driver and helped him carry the lemonade into shops, for this we were paid about 2 or 3 shillings, we also were allowed in the factory, and could drink some lemonade now and then, The manager then was a Mr Griffiths,(Mr Griff) we always thought that the girl on the swing was his daughter. If you go to Liverpool picture book, picture 149,shows a picture of Commutation Row where an electric light representation of the girl on the swing, you will have to zoom in close, hope this helps.

I have a friend visiting from New Zealand who is a descendant of these Edmondsons and she is particularly interested in finding out who was the 'girl on a swing' featured on their glass bottles. We understand that there was a plaque on the front of the Empire Theatre showing this emblem and would love to know where we might obtain a photograph. Also are there any other descendants of these Edmondsons out there? Hoping someone can help.

Sorry, his son Ernest was 29 when he died, not 19 - and I meant to say "two more fathers"! John Henry Cors (possible started out as Johann Heinrich Kors) came from Hanover in the 1870s. He was married twice, and each wife had six children. Both wives were dead by the time he was interned (he was 61 by then). So his son in law was Robert Ingham who died in 1917; when John Henry became ill on the Isle of Man he was sent back to the mainland, but not to Liverpool - he went to a German convalescent home in Hertfordshire, Libury Hall, where he died. One of his own sons, Ernest, died aged 19 in 1918, after losing both legs in WW1. So, two war deaths in his family but no compassion for John Henry - and all those children left with no parents. I never met any of them and only found out about them when I started doing family history on lists like this one. So, to more fathers to remember tomorrow! Thank you, Ekloman1, for giving me the opportunity to mention them both. ----- No virus found in this message.

Yes, indeed I did have a German great-grandfather, the grandfather of Robert, and he was interned on the Isle of Man, after the singing of the "Lusitania", on which Robert's father had served, but before WW1. John Henry Cors (possible started out as Johann Heinrich Kors) came from Hanover in the 1870s. He was married twice, and each wife had six children. Both wives were dead by the time he was interned (he was 61 by then).

I had a German grandfather with a Liverpool wife and three English kids He brought the family from Falmouth to Liverpool, then jumped on a Cunarder to Canada - April 1914. The wife and children followed 2 years later. They never went back. My Lancashire (Liverpool) father was Robert Edward Mackay Campbell Ingham, born September 1912. When he was five, his father died when his ship, the "Laurentic" was torpedoed off the coast of Northern Ireland in January 1917. Robert, or Bert as he was known, went to train on the Training Ship "Indefatigable" when he was twelve, and then went to sea as an ordinary seaman, and later an Able Seaman. He had come ashore by the time I was born in 1936, but because of his background at sea, was called up for service the minute WW2 broke out, and he served right through the six years of the war, taking part in the Dunkirk business, the Battle of the Atlantic, the Malta Convoys, the Russian Convoys, and finally Tobruk. He came physically unscathed through the war, although the psychological scars of war took their toll and sadly he died in 1953, aged only 41, when I was 17. I still miss him and would love to ask him all the questions that I never had the chance to ask during our short relationship after the war.

The Manchester Guardian 4th June 1910 A MYSTERY OF THE MERSEY An inquest was held by the West Cheshire coroner yesterday on an unknown man whose body, after having apparently been in the water only an hour or two, was picked up in the Mersey at Liverpool on Tuesday morning. The Coroner said all the appearances indicated that he was a man of position, but, although a detailed description had been published he had not been identified. The jury returned an open verdict. The man was about fifty years of age and 5ft. 8in. In height. His possessions included a pocket knife marked "Richardson, cutlers, Derby," and a tailor's thimble.

I cannott find the Marriage of Thomas in 1913+/-, he married his second Wife Mary (Polly) Kelly also b in Widnes. First Wife was Hannah Stephens in 1894 in Neath, Glamorgan, Hannah died in 1913, my Grandmother was Hannah's nurse. My Mother was the eldest of the second Family and always said that they went away for the week-end to marry. They did not marry in Wales, so anything anyone knows would be most helpful.
