Hi Gang, Does anyone know who ran the Mariners Homes, how would anyone find out about any person that lived and died there? Ron Fitzpatrick.

Hello Ron As stated at http://www.nautilusuk.org/ngen_public/default.asp?id=409 the accommodation at Mariners Park Estate has been provided for nearly 150 years or so by the NUMAST Welfare Funds Charity and its predecessors. To enquire as to whether or not there are any records of past residents and if so where and how they might be accessed I'd suggest you write to :- NUMAST Welfare Funds Nautilus House Mariners' Park Seabank Road Wallasey Merseyside England Telephone: 0151 639 8454 Fax: 0151 346 8801 Alternatively you could try e-mailing them at welfare@nautilusuk.org Regards Gordon Wirral UK From: "Ron Fitzpatrick" <fitzp369@iinet.net.au> To: <ENG-MERSEYSIDE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, November 10, 2006 10:02 AM Subject: [ENG-MERSEYSIDE] Mariners Memories >Hi Gang, >Does anyone know who ran the Mariners Homes, how would anyone find >out >about any person that lived and died there? >Ron Fitzpatrick. Hi Ron You may be interested in this extract of a post I made to the Mariners List on 30 November last year in response to a similar question:- >The complex, situated just off Egremont Promenade on the Wirral banks of >the >River Mersey, is now known as Mariners Park and is operated by >NUMAST >Welfare Funds - a registered charity. >A few of the original cottages (built in 1892 & 1898) still exist but most >of them (and the original building Cliff House) have been demolished & >replaced >by purpose-built modern accommodation. >Applications are invited from retired seafarers and widows of seafarers >and, >subject to availability, from dependants of seafarers. You'll find a little more information on :- http://www.nautilusuk.org/ngen_public/default.asp?id=409 and a map here :- http://www.ucarewecare.com/map.php?p=2&id=14640 There's also a publication available for purchase - The Story of Mariners Park, Wallasey, by Robert Currams & Mike Condon (ISBN-1-899241-11-6), cost around 7GBP. (Can't say I've ever heard of Mariner's Hill, though!).
