Thanks very much for the Churches web site. I loved the sound of the bells! Brought back happy childhood memories of going up into the Bell tower at Bromborough church on Thursday nights to listen to and watch the bell ringers practice. That was after the 2nd world war.

Hello Susan - North Meols is the old name for Southport, where I live at present. The Parish Church for Southport is St Cuthbert's in the Churchtown district. Once upon a time it was customary for people in North Meols to be registered at Ormskirk. Marged I am new to the list and need some help. (I hope I am posting this to the proper mailing list). While checking the BMD for Ormskirk, Lancashire County , I discovered the following (who probably were children of Joseph and Susannah Nicholls, my great great grandparents) Births: Vol 8b, page 567-Joseph William Henry Nicholls, Mar 1864 Vol 8b, page 631-Adelaide J Nicholls, Sept 1866 Vol 8b, page 685-William Henry M Nicholls, Dec 1867 Vol 8b, page 723-Joseph Nicholls, March 1870 Vol 8b, page719-Susanna Nicholls, March 1871 Vol 8b, page 723-William Joseph Nicholls, March 1872 Deaths: Vol 8b, page 507-Joseph William H Nicholls, age 3, December 1867 Vol 8b, page 513-William Henry M Nicholls, age 0, December 1867 Vol 8b, page 586-Joseph Nicholls, age 0, September 1870 Vol 8b, page 756-Susanna Nicholls, age 0, March 1871 So much sadness for the family....I can't imagine! How/where do I write to get copies? (I am in Georgia, USA). If the couple were living in North Meols, where might the children have been christened? Where might the children who didn't survive be buried? [Joseph and Susannah Nicholls arrived in the United States in 1873]. At the time of the 1871 census in England, Joseph Nicholls and Susannah were living in North Meols, Lancashire County, England. [Township-North Meols, Municipal Burough- Southport, Municipal Ward-Craven, Town-Southport, Ecclesiastical district-Christ Church]. Joseph Nicholls was listed as head of family, age 42, painter, born in Liverpool, Lancashire County, England. Susannah, his wife, was age 38, born in Tranmere, Cheshire County, England Children listed were Adalaide Nicholls, age 4 and Robert age 3 (both born in Southport, Lancashire County, England).[Note: Robert Nicholls, my great grandfather, was said to have been born in Benares, India, July 1868/9. I have a picture of Joseph Nicholls in a uniform, probably a volunteer regiment, would be happy to scan and share] I am my family's historian. I enjoy looking for the family, and finding out more about them than simply names and dates. I appreciate any assistance. I look forward to hearing from you

I have relatives from Gt Meolse,Little Moelse etc and they were married in Holy Trinity Church in Hoose(Hoylake).This is a link to Cheshire Churches _http://www.moston.org/churches.html_ (http://www.moston.org/churches.html) there is another one but I cant remember it now unless someone else knows it? wendy

Hi List, Would someone be so kind as to tell me who the above was living with on the 1841 census? There were at least 3 children (John Webster 7/george Webster 5/Thomas Webster 3) but I don't know the name of the Wife.

Thanks for that - used to be a table tennis instructor (not very advanced) at the Florrie - back in about 1957 Marged Interesting site here about the Florence Institute. Has quite a bit of history about the Florrie "Friends of the Florrie" _http://www.savetheflorrie.org.uk/_ (http://www.savetheflorrie.org.uk/) "The Florrie, or Florence Institute, is a historic but neglected building in Liverpool 8. Members of the local community are trying to save the structure and to remember its illustrious past....." ".... The Florence Institute was officially opened as a boys' club in Mill Street, Toxteth, in 1890, four years after the opening of a similar establishment, the Gordon Working Lads Institute in Kirkdale on the other side of the city". For a hundred years The Florence Institute, or the Florrie as it is affectionally known by locals, served the young working and unemployed youth of the area...." I've also just learned from the author himself that there is a new book out illustrated softback book published, 'For Their Country', detailing the 70 men who are listed on the Florence Institute War Memorial in Mill St, Dingle - All proceeds from the sale of the book will go to the Florence Institute Trust Ltd.

http://www.whatsinaname.net/ This website will tell you where Personal Names, First Names or Given Names are thought to have originated and what they originally meant. We have also recorded Variations, Pet Names, Diminutives and Abbreviations that you may have to consider when searching in genealogical databases and old records. The site is currently being developed. It was started when we found that many forenames in Scotland were interchangeable in ways not obvious to a non-Scot. Many people know that Jane is the same as Jean and Elizabeth is the same as Isabel/Isobel in Scotland, but did you know that Patrick and Peter are often interchangeable?
