Dear List This is not remotely connected to Marged's message, but I am somewhat curious about what happened to my ancestors. Several died in the late 1800s in the Liverpool courts and I wonder where they were buried. Would anyone know how the poor buried their dead? I am rather assuming they would be in unmarked public graves. Have found some pictures of the courts where they lived at _http://www.mersey-gateway.org/_ (http://www.mersey-gateway.org/) which is fascinating. I am concentrating at the moment on the following Liverpool families: the McIntyres from 1861 onwards (originally from Belfast), the Budworths from the 1840s onwards (originally from Nottingham) and the Carters from the 1850s onwards (originally Seacombe). I think some of the McIntyres returned to Ireland after 1901 as I can't find them anywhere. If anyone has any experience of tracing family in Belfast before 1860 and after 1901 I would love to have some pointers. Many thanks Jess

There used to be some very large tombstones in St James's cemetery commemorating orphans who died in the cholera epidemics in the 1840s. I do not know if they are still there. -----Original Message----- From: eng-merseyside-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-merseyside-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of JessMcKenn@aol.com Sent: 19 October 2006 19:23 To: eng-merseyside@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ENG-MERSEYSIDE] Let's get it going!
