To answer the enquiry: William's Marriage Cert. states his occupation as Steward. I cannot accept nor eliminate the William Bawdens born in the 1850 ish time zone as I have no evidence to go on except for the fact that his marriage cert. says his father was also William, Stonemason. There are at lea...

First a Public Thankyou to Dickiesam for his help over the last few weeks. :!: Now something different. 1911 Census: Written as Frederick Bawden. b. 1848 London MSX. Living @ 26 Holywell St Bootle 1901 Now written William Bawden age 51 b. London. Living @ 25 Salop St Kirkdale 1891 William F. Bawden ...

To bring it to a conclusion ! She arrived home and unpacked. Came to the kitchen and her first comment was, " It's cleaner than when I left. What happened? Quick as a wink I replied, " I had a spare half hour after I had mowed, put out the washing, done the dishes, folded the clothes, removed all co...

I accept the rules of submitting a request which applied when I joined in 2007.
Let's see if there is contact with the Cahill or Williams families re their aunt, great aunt, gg aunt Sarah Ellen Cahill etc., born Williams.

Peccavi ! I hope this means: "I have sinned."
But you have all made me feel human.
Until my next confusion
Many thanks,
Alan

My wife goes 140kms north this afternoon to look after grandees. (We do this quite often in Australia. Takes an hour & a half. Easy drive.) I am left alone to cater for myself. For 3 days !! No problem ! I am a good cook. I go to the cupboard but dislodge a packet of Country Cheese Biscuits. They hi...

Hello! I have read the recent submissions on Cold Casing and offer the following. And I hope I stay within the critieria of acceptability. Re- Introducing Sarah Ellen Cahill (born Williams) in Oct 1870. daughter of William Williams & Ellen Fox, in Liverpool. This topic has been extensively pursued b...

Thank you Simone !
Lovely to be remembered. That's why I visit this site most days. Helpful people with a sense of humour.
No further developments on the Sarah Ellen front, though.

Would c/c mean "cabin class" ?
Alan

Thanks to you all & please keep thinking !
I am amazed how early people get up in the UK.

Alan

Tina !!! Very unlikely !!! But thanks for your humour. Where would we be without a laugh ? P.S. I am sending my wife to Perth on 16 November for 2 weeks freedom from me. Number 1 son has moved to Christmas Creek (google map it west of Newman. Mining of course. Pay the mortgage off in 3 years.) . He ...

I thought the c/c might be in the line of "care of" as an address recipient.

I have been posed the following question, and I can't answer it: " What does, c/c S.C.S.B.W. on a ship's ticket mean, when given as the last address in England for an individual sailing to Canada in 1922." ? In the same vein: " c/c of Lands Dept. C.P.R. Charing Cross." ? I would appreciate your thou...

I may have missed something, and if I have, I apologise. But who was the Percy Walter Hulme who died on 3 April 2009 at the age of 84 at Manly Hospital NSW Australia?
Source: Ryerson Index (death notices & Obits in Australian newspapers.) date published: 11 April 2009.

Is this useful?

Having been given the clues, I did a bit of ferreting. The email address for family history at Crosby Library is either,

local-history.north@sefton.gov.uk
or
local-history.south@sefton.gov.uk

I picked south for Waterloo/Crosby. Here's hoping!

Alan

More good stuff ! Thanks to you all. I tracked a map from Dean St Waterloo to the pub along Crosby Road and it came out at 1.5 miles. Not too far to go for your employment. Now I think I will try and compose a letter to the management asking if they have any written records or photos of the very ear...

Once again I am gratified at the rapidity & knowledge of the group. At the risk of repeating myself, Thank You. Tina, my grandfather had 4 children. 2 died within a year of birth. My father was Joseph born 1915. The other child was Simon, born a year earlier, I think. I often met him visiting my fat...

Firstly, thanks everyone! I assume The Birkey is (or was) the one in Cooks Road in Crosby. Mary's comment about the obituary woke me up. Talk about "Can't see the wood for the trees!" I have it, though it is undated and unsourced. Simply a newspaper cutting. It says the funeral took place at SS Pete...

Back again! Should I be in the Southport group? My grandfather Simon Matthew Donougher died in 1932 in Waterloo at 12 Dean St. On his Death cert. it stated he was a barman. I have evidence to believe he latterly served at the "Birky" which I assume to be the Birkdale Hotel. And would that be in the ...

I have just finished looking into each house on the streets suggested in this posting, looking for any sign of a name that could in any way be interpreted as Cahill in the 1891 census. Sorry to say, "No luck !" I did find the Tomlinsons & Gallaghers though. Thanks ! But the day produced some positiv...
