Just for fun - how scouse am I ?

[plimmerian]

There are no Liverpool connections on my mother's side!

But my father was born in Huyton (not scouse I hear you cry!)

His father was born on Edge Lane (West Derby Rural) - (still not scouse you sigh!)

Thank heavens for my gran born in Rankin Street, Toxteth Park (is that true scouse? lol)

Her father was born in Tamworth Street, TP and her mother in Blair Street, TP!
Her mother's mother was born in Chester Place, TP and in turn her father is listed as being born on Church Lane, Liverpool in 1806 but that trail runs dry.

Back to my gran's father and his father was born in Bruce Street, TP while his mother was born in Llanwrst Street, TP. It is her mother who was bapt in 1830 at Liverpool St Peter, while in turn her mother was bapt in 1796 at Toxteth St James.

Can I claim my cuddley liver bird toy now for having scouse blood? lol

Sounds pretty Scouse to me with not a drop of other places in between, I think you defo qualify for the Liver Bird cuddly toy but only on one line

[MaryA]

Also yellow lamb banana!! By my reckoning anybody born (or even living for most of their life) within the general area that we knew as Merseyside (apart from the woolybacks across the river) are Scousers.

Now I bet some will argue against that

Hi...I was born in Liverpool and lived there for 27 years (( that's a fib 25 years 2 over the water in posh Wallasey v)) so been away for 47 years am I still a scouser??? I do hope so?

Once a Scouser always a Scouser I reckon, I was one even when I lived in Australia for 30 years!!

It's funny, I caught my step-dad who you would think was scouse (he was born in Exeter) watching baytv about Liverpools around the world?

They pop up every where!

I have heard it said ' You can go Anywhere in the world & Bump into a Scouser'

We get Everywhere!

I used to pass the sign for Liverpool, NSW, Australia and feel like shouting out of the car window "Get your own name, it's not the real one!!"

I'm a woollyback. Thirty four years resident 'over the water', having moved here from a mountain in Wales, where I was born and brought up. Now that's real quality woollyback.

However, I can claim Scouse ancestry as quite a few were mariners and dockers, and my grandma lived in Fazakerley. So there.

my line now appears to stretch to an Owen Lloyd - he doesn't sound very scouse lol

Look at the names I have in my tree, try to work out how many are Scouse?

[Daisycakes]

Aren't we scousers all descended from Welsh and Irish stock somewhere along the line

Ann

[Pegasus]

Mostly (I suppose!)
I have Welsh, Irish, Scots & Prussean as well as good old Anglo Saxon English roots.

Principle qualification is the ability to speak fluently in the three main languages, namely

English, Irish and rubbish!!
