Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

Apologies for not getting back to you sooner, my dad's shop was indeed a second hand shop,situated on Chatsworth st, he sold second hand furniture, tools, household goods indeed anything that people needed or wanted to sell, it was hard times. He had premises on the corner of Juno St and Harboard S...

Thank you Bert! Learned some new things again about the history of turf accountants/betting shops, very interesting. Especially since one of mythological Juno's epithets was "Moneta": money. I checked my own documentation from last summer's visits to the Record Office, and saw I photographed the bac...

Thanks for checking Bert. Interesting to see these different addresses, perhaps the photo of the shop at corner Harbord St/Juno St is dated before 1964 then.. (if it's the same company) Or could it have been a storage space as well?

Thank you for that information Daisy. I guess this photo is taken around 1968, as part of the collection of photographs taken before the slum clearances? I found it in this wonderful facebook group "Friends of Edge Hill and Wavertree": https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=543473472427729&set=pcb....

Thank you Blue for these links. I wasn't aware of the possibility to search/list by address in the 1939 register preview!

Thank you Daisy! Was this the store at the corner Juno St/Harbord St by any chance?

That's so great to hear Daisy! Do you remember the name of your dad's shop at the corner of Juno St/Harbord St? Wonderful that you still have his shop books. Was the furniture shop a second hand one as well?

Yes, there is/was definitely many female streets around there, which is great! Juno St was the first to be built, Helena, Sophia, Janet etc came a few years later. In 1851 Liverpool did have some female streets of course already, I guess mainly royal names such as Charlotte, Victoria, Elizabeth. And...

And thank you Bert for looking up that newspaper article! Interesting to read who attended the funeral, and that he was 'held in high esteem'.
What would a 'foreman in the outdoor locomotive department' have done exactly? Would that have been at Edge Hill Station?

I like its name too, I guess for the same reason :) Actually, I am still trying to find out the origin of the street's name, as in that time (1854) it was quite an unusual name, and I don't see a pattern with other surrounding streets either. Perhaps there's a Welsh connection (though this is before...

Yes, thank you Bert! Someone I know in Liverpool contacted St Anne's church before, and although they don't have a graveyard anymore, there are people buried underneath the church, though the whereabouts of the burial registers are unknown. I had found this list, which is put together with informati...

Furthermore, going back to the when the street was first built, I am looking into the Keeley family who lived in Juno Street in at least 1861-1871: Patrick Keeley, railway foreman (who was also chairman of the Burial Society at St Anne, I have come across many newspaper articles about his position) ...

Yes sure. The man I have talked to about his youth in Juno Street was Joe Mitchell. I know the family of Thomas Debnam, chimney sweeper, has lived in the street for a long time. Know about the Satellite Vaults pub on the corner with Harboard Street, a club called the Starlight, and both Morrows and ...

Dear Blue and MaryA, Thank you for your replies! Yes you're right, I have posted on Facebook (the Friends of Edge Hill and Wavertree group) before, and have asked questions about specific family research details on forums as well. I am still trying to familiarize myself with the UK record system, as...

Dear all, Hope someone might be able to help! I am trying to find out more details about the last year's of Juno Street's existence, formerly located in Edge Hill and demolished as part of the slum clearances in the 1960s. It seems as though one woman was living there on her own during its last year...
