Good morning, everyone, and happy Mothering Sunday! Today would be a good day for everyone to mention a Liverpool mother. Could be your own mother, your grandmother, great grandmother, or some other mother that lived in or near Liverpool. Perhaps you have a story to tell, a bit of data to share, or a query. You've all been quiet lately. Let's hear from you! Kind regards, Carol & Lynne ----------------------------------- Carol and Lynne Liverpool Joint List Administrators Eng-Liverpool-admin@rootsweb.com

My grandmother, who I never met, was born in Liverpool grew up in Tremadoc in North Wales, married in Liverpool and spent the rest of her life there. Jane was born 1864 in Edgehill her father Edward was a wheelwright, when she was 5 her mother died and she went to live with her mother's sister Mary Jones. I have a lovely photo of Jane taken on her wedding day. Jane Ellen Evans married William Henry Johnson in 1887 at St Michaels Toxteth. Dad said that if she didn't want her children to know what she was saying to a neighbour she spoke Welsh. William and Jane were first cousins, their mothers Anne and Ellinor Hughes were sisters. I would love to have met Jane as I'm sure there would have been wonderful stories to tell. Dianne Hughes Teesdale Victoria Australia
