At the risk of being a pest and further to my search for my grandmother Ellen nee Hinds married to George Williams on 25th Dec 1894 at the Church in the Parish of St., Simon, Liverpool, I would like to say, disregard this, as it leads to nowhere.
I would however like readers to consider the letters that I had from my dear old Aunt Ada, now a centurion., She writes:
"Ellen Williams had a sister named Kate Hines (Hinds). Don’t know her married name. She lived in a street off Addison St., off Scotland Road., a very large block Council flats. Your grandmother came from a large family. I think her mother had been married twice, because her brothers and sisters had different surnames.
The name Billy Beasley was mentioned quite often, don’t know who he was, but grandmother had step brothers and sisters. One was Auntie Kate. She lived near the bottom of Scotland road in a street on the right side going towards the City".
When my eldest sister was evacuated during the war from Kent to Liverpool to escape the bombing, (Herr Hitler must have known she was going up there), my mother and the rest of the four kids went up to bring her home in around 1943.
During this time my Aunt took us to see an elderly woman in bed, the name Auntie Kate rings a bell. Twice in my childhood I took to using a handkerchief to cover the smell, the other when I had piano practice.
Could this have been the Kate Hines /Hinds/Beasley.
I would very much appreciate the possibility of a kind reader visiting the Liverpool Library and check to see if their were such names in that area at the time in the Street Directories
