Hi everyone i have just joined your list. My name is Margaret Davies and I have a problem you may be able to help me solve. I have a new computer and have lost all my old email addresses.If anyone could contact Sybil and Graeme in Queesland Australia and ask her to send me and email to my old email address I would be very grateful. I think Sybil is a subscriber to your list or pehaps the Liverpool one as she is a Liverpool girl. Many thanks Margaret

Know of an Anthony Winstanley, born West Derby, Liverpool circa 1939. TCM.

Hi List, I'm new to this particular list and am interested to know of anyone has connections, or any information on members of the BRIDGE family. In the early to mid 1940's the family was in Mulberry Street. Regards, Eric Winstanley in Ashton in Makerfield.

Does anybody have any members of the McNIE family in their records? I am looking for information regarding Annie McNIE and her family in Birkenhead. Annie McNIE born about 1865 in Birkenhead. Her parents were Thomas and Elizabeth McNIE and siblings Janet, Catherine and Isabella. The eldest sister Janet and father Thomas on the 1871 Birkenhead census when living in St Anne St, Birkenhead were said to have been born in Scotland but Catherine, Isabella and Annie all born in Birkenhead so presumably family moved to Birkenhead between 1854 to 1859. In 1884 Annie McNIE married William STOTT also of Birkenhead. At various times Annie lived in St Anne, Beckwith, Greenfield, Lowther and Berry Streets, Birkenhead. Thanks, Alan Siddorn

I've just joined this list, determined to make some progress in finding more information about the above names. David Kirkpatrick was born 1783 [I know not where] and died 1837 in Caldy Cheshire. He married Mary Sillers or Sellers in 1818, and I have a copy of their Marriage Licence where the name I.M. Kirkpatrick, Accountant is included with David Kirkpatrick's name. His occupation was stated to be Master Mariner, but when he died, a Surgeon. They were married at St. Peter's These two had four children, William b 1827 John born 1829 Mibella Sillers b 1831 and Elizabeth Johnson b 1833. They were living in Caldy when each were born, but took all four of them across the Mersey to the Bold Street Universalist, a Church. The Johnson name is that of Mary Sillers' Mother. I have an interest in Elizabeth Johnson Kirkpatrick who married into a line that married into mine and who had nine children in Herefordshire, none of whom were baptised there. I am wondering if any one here is searching these names. I am ultimately looking for David Kirkpatrick's parents. If they were Scots, [perhaps the reason for taking the children to a Non Conformist or Presbyterian Church to be baptised] the naming patterns might lead to his father being William. Janet Traced: Dun/Dunn, Angus Sherret, Kincardineshire Chester, Glasgow Rowat, Campbell, Argyll PS Apologies if any one here is also subscribed to Liverpool and/or Birkenhead.

Hi David, Sylvia here. I was enquiring about Nathan Robinson of Toxteth Park. As yet I don't know of Robert. My great grandmother Elizabeth Robinson married Hugh Hughes in Toxteth in 1878. Her father was Nathan a stonemason. Nathan and wife Mary had a huge family but he remarried in 1880 to Elizabeth Robinson. The census I have up to that time is 1881. This is all I have at the moment. Syl - UK

List..... Someone was looking for Nathaniel ROBINSON of Toxteth Park, Liverpool..... Would they have a Robert James ROBINSON who married Catherine Jane SOTHERN in 1888....who also lived in Toxteth Park. Please contact me OFF LINE if they match. David PONTEE in Wrexham, Wales,UK

Hi, Today I pay tribute to: My grandfather, Ernest Hollingworth, born in Lancashire, who served in the 28th North West Battalion, Canadian Army, and saw action at Hill 70, Passehendaele, and Vimy Ridge. He returned to his family in Edmonton, Alberta. His brothers-in-law and my great-uncles: John Farrell, with the Canadian Infantry (Nova Scotia Regiment), who died September 16, 1916, Vimy Ridge, and his brother William Farrell who also served with the Canadian Forces, and returned to marry and raise a family in Stratford, Ontario. These two men were born in Birkenhead. My great-uncle, Frederick Ross of Portsoy, Scotland, able seaman with the Royal Navy, who died August 15, 1814 of injuries received during the campaigns in Gallipoli and Salonika, and is buried in Malta. My uncle Thomas Southern Hollingworth, born in Birkenhead, who served during WWII with the Canadian Navy, and returned to his family in Edmonton, Alberta. My aunt, Peggy Ross, who enlisted in 1941 with the RCAF and told many interesting stories of escorting English war-brides to their new homes in Canada! My uncle, Walter Aime Moore, who served with the RAF in 1939, and told many interesting stories of training the Free French on Tiger Moths. There are so many others: my tribute to them all. Gay, In Canada

In my grandparents possession I have come across a photo of a FRED HOUSLEY taken by Robinson Thompson studios in Liverpool/Birkenhead circa 1890 looking about aged 20 + or - a couple of years. I'm wondering who he was and how he is connected to my Bush family from the Dorset/Hampshire area. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Cathy, Canada
