This is from an historical account of "The Poor Servants" it only appears on an older version of their website:-

May 1891: Refuge for women opened at Limekiln Lane, Liverpool. St. Saviour’s refuge, Paul St., Bevington Bush, opened Dec 1892, laundry work carried out; Limekiln Lane retained as night shelter. Re-opened as Lourdes Hospital, c. Mar 1929. Sold to Classic Hospitals Jul 2006.

Hi T from T
Have you the family in 1891?
If not please let me know.
Just wondering what happened to the other kiddies, Mary, Jane (Ind School?) & Charles

Hi Tina,
Charles recieved the Victory Medal after being invalided out of the Army,he was discharged as unfit for service ,3 December 1919,after he
was reported drowned ,21 August 1919!.
Mary I havn,t found as yet but Jane I found in St Annes Industrial School,Formby,Lancashire in the 1901 census.
So I started to trace the father Francis family,just in case some were living with them,and am at the teeth grinding stage,an awful lot of Joseph Cullens born around the same time.
Julia the mother was still living up to 1918,when she died,I found her buried in Ford Cemetery, but havn,t as yet found her in 1901 +.
Good to hear from you
Tsumi
