Hi Paula if you want a look up for your English roots e.g. census ect just ask and will look for you. Also if you go to www.UpMyStreet.com and put in the post code where you are staying you can find the nearest pharmacy, petrol station Library, restaurants ect . We use it every time we go away so know where everything is. Lesley -----Original Message----- From: Paula My partner and I watch this list every day, and only occasionally contribute, but I have a real interest in the Liverpool/Merseyside area. We're in NZ and we're doing our big OE to Scotland and England next year. I hope, and know, that we will get the same feelings you have. Our whole trip is being arranged around genealogy -

Thanks for trying to find David & Agnes for me; I'm afraid I don't have parents' names for either of them - this being the information I was hoping for in my look-up request. Should you be interested, children of Henry & Barbara (Ledder) EVANS are :- 1832 Ann (m Edward DEAN 1851 Liverpool St Peter) 1834 William (m Amelia HUTTON 1863 Liverpool) 1836 Henry (d 24 September 1861) 1838 Mary (m JONES) 1841 Harriet (m Francis BRIGGS 1872 Bidston St Oswald) 1843 Elizabeth (m George MACONOCHIE 1863 Liverpool St John) 1846 James 1848 Emma (m Edward PIATT 1869 Egremont St John) 1849 Louisa (m Evan Davies PATRICK 1873 Wirral Civil) 1854 George (m Margaret Elizabeth HUNT 1883 West Derby) Henry & Barbara were 3rd cousins, by the way, Barbara's LEDDER line tracing back to John LEATHER (b1632 Puddington) and Sarah BROWNE (b1628 Burton) who married on 4 August 1657 in a "Parliamentary" wedding at Chester. John & Sarah were of course uncle & aunt to Thomas WILSON (b1663 Burton), Bishop of Sodor & Man 1697-1755 - our first cousin 9 times removed.

So glad you enjoyed your trip so much Pat, and sorry that we didn't meet up. Perhaps some other time, if you pass this way again. I wonder what parts of Scotland you visited? Marged Hello List, I am still on cloud nine with all the meetings of family and being able to get a feel of the area our ancestors lived, worked and played. And the lovely Churches. England and Scotland are much different then here in Canada. To see all the brick buildings in England and stone buildings in Scotland. It was all so breath taking for me. When you live in a place, you have no idea as to how others see what " you, we " take for granted. Our whole trip was a learning experience, one can never imagine till you see with your own eyes. What a joy it was to visit the U K. The epitome of my family research to go to the places our families came from and to meet and be with my cousins. We were first in London and did the tourist things there. Then on to Nottinghan and Leicestershire where Bill's family were from. We then took the coach to Liverpool. Where we were met and went by taxi for to visit and tour Birkenhead, Chester, Hoylake, Frankby and the cemeteries many are buried in. It brought tears to me when I visited these places for the first time. To be and see were my ancestors walked, worked, played and lived. To see the Churches they married in. To be with the families and spend time with them. We went on the Mersery ferry to Liverpool. To see things in Liverpool including inside St. Nicholas Church where many of my family married and had there babies Bapt. Also went on the tour under the Mersey tunnel. I had no idea Birkenhead and Liverpool were only a 10 minute ferry ride apart. And Wales being so close. We then took the train to Scotland and enjoyed our stay there. Where here the buildings were of beautiful stone. also many of there fences. When we set out on our trip. We wanted to include as much as we could including forms of travel. Everything was so different for us. When we live in a place. We take so much for granted. To be a visitor we see so much. With doing my family research it was all on paper. But to go visit and see with my own eyes was truly a blessing which I will remember always. The people were all so friendly and the hospitality was wonderful. We were so well treated and cared for where ever we went. We were truly made welcomed. Many things to be Thankful for with this being our Canadian Thanksgiving weekend and always the memories will last forever. My family names FULTON, FOGG, BROWN, HARDMAN , SHERLOCK, ASHTON and many more.

Hi Walter There's something up with my list mail at the moment, as I keep having to release my own mail from the trap so it's turning up days late. My great grandmother, Jane Fisher, was born in New Lanark in about 1955. I think her mother was Jane McDougall. We visited New Lanark just now and found it a wonderful place - must have been amazing when it was all built and Robert Owen began to put his pure Socialist principles into place. Marged Hello Marged, Glad your back safe and sound, and it is still raining up here, I'm not sure what's been happening with the Mails, I only got yours late on Wednesday. Anyway It's good to be back on the list, I hope you had a good break in Scotland? May I ask, what names you are connected to in Lanarkshire? as my good lady has among others, CALDWELL, CRAIG, FORREST, LEES and THOMSON. Regards, Walter.

Hi all I wrote the other day to thank Tony for all his help in finding Jessie WOOD. May I please apologise to TOMAS.....I am so sorry, it was Tomas who helped with my queery not Tony......I thought I was clever in remembering his name:-) So, Thank you Tomas, Now you know who this message is for. Best wishes to everyone Woody **************

I thought I knew the Scotlandspeople site quite well, but Robin has widened my view - I've never needed to look for whole families but his advice makes sense, and thank you Robin for the advice about cheaper vouchers from the Scottish local libraries - I will now ask my one if they know about it.   Tomas ----- Original Message ---- From: Margaret <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, 10 October, 2008 7:50:46 Subject: Re: [ENG-MERSEYSIDE] Scotland's People On 9/10/08 17:45, "Gordon Evans" <[email protected]> wrote: > Not sure  precisely what kind of help is on offer here - advice on how to > use the pay-per-view site or look-ups using unused credits thereto?

Hello Gordon, Very good to hear from you, I hope you're keeping well? S/People, from me meant mainly look-ups, but not the technicalities of the site, as I try to keep it simple, however, a little experimentation doesn't hurt does it? Right, I've had a quick look for your David and Agnes, nothing showing for the actual dates you give, a couple of Davids, but not in Montrose, 7 Agnes's, various Dates, but, do you have any Parents names for either party? as this might help to pin down a result. Your question Re:- Elizabeth Evans b1843. I only have Henry and Barbara, their Info:- from your good self on 19-11-06, but nothing foir any children, up to now anyway, and now I have their (M) date/place.

Hi, I have a book "Register of Ex-Apprentices and Ex-Trainees of the Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Co. Ltd.". This book lists 13,652 names of those who trained at the M-V Works at Trafford Park, Manchester between 1902 and 1956. The majority of those listed have mini-biographies. I am willing to do look-ups to those who can supply names and dates. Charlie.

Woody, Can you give more detail so if somebody is able to do a lookup for it'll help them. The date of death is important as there's a good chance they we buried about 3,4,5 days after death and this will greatly shorten the search times. Denomination is also important and then finally which cemetery?
