Liverpool Street around 1880

[BarrattFamily]

Done. I have ordered both the maps and the book so now I need to do some housework/cooking/cleaning or you will be reading about me on the news for neglecting my kids.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that I can find Glasshouse Lane on the map and the book sounds very interesting.

It's the general area I think you will find. As I said I have looked on the available maps for around 1850 and 1890 and can identify the other streets around Glasshouse Lane (I got the names from the census) but there is no actual Glasshouse Lane marked it just has to be within the area of the other streets.

Hi Hilary,

I received my maps today and they are great. They show heaps of detail. I think I may have to order another one as well that joins onto the Old Swan one. I've attached a copy here of the area in question to see what you think. Is the area of Mill Lane and the Glassworks in this map or do you think it is just off the edge? I can see Springfield and Hurst Streets that you mentioned. Thanks for helping me with this.

I think I have figured out that I should order the adjoining map from the south which is map 106.16 Wavertree.

The Dryden public house was situated about half a mile or so towards the city on Edge Lane on the corner of Brompton Road (opposite Maplins) it has recently been demolished. I'm pretty sure Dryden Road was near by, either off EL or in the myriad of streets behind it!

I too, am researching an O'Connor family, strange thing is that they ran the Glasshouse pub on Vauxhall Road and one of the children was named Ann b1879 -and I can't find her or two brothers Thomas and Walter anywhere!

mmm... I wonder...

Dryden Road is to the left of this map — at the end of Binns Road, originally connecting with Edge Lane and emerging somewhere opposite Lomond Road. Today, Binns Rd does a right turn to also connect with Edge Lane.

Look on Google Earth and input 'Binns Road, Liverpool 7, UK'.

There's also a clearer map at this address:-

I have had a look in the 1884 street directory (on cd) there is no Glass House Lane listed in Liverpool. Also checked 1900 not there then either.

I had a look at the streets on the 1881 on the anc site and just typed in Glass House Lane, there were 3 that came up. 1 in Doncaster, 1 in Walls End (Northumberland) and 1 in Topsham (Devon).

Hi Leonie

I have just registered on this site having come across your posts concerning the Barratt,McEvoy and O'Connor families of Everton.
I am Christine Jones (nee Smethurst) and my grandmother was Elizabeth Barratt daughter of Ann(O'Connor) and Edward Barratt. I remember my great Aunt Christina and her huband Jim and their daughter Christina and her husband Harry Bird( I think!) who were living off Queensland Street in Edge Hill. There were other members of their family but I can't recall them. We lived in Nuttall Street, Edge Hill at the time. My mother was Eileen Smethurst (nee McEvoy) who is now deceased but she gave me some of her other cousins names as :- Edward,James,Andrew,Nancy and Maureen.

I have a marriage certificate for my great grandmother Ann O'Connor when she remarried in 1924 (as a widow) to John Hubbnett so would have changed her name which is why you were not able to trace her death as Barratt.
I have only just begun to research the family history so I found your info very useful. Let me know if you're still having difficulty with any of your findings. I still live in Liverpool so may be able to help.

Regards
Christine Jones

Hi and welcome to the forum. I notice that Leonie hasn't logged on the forum since near the end of 2010. It would be a shame if you both didn't make contact with each other, if you hover your mouse over the "email" button on one of her posts you might be able to see the address she logged on with, perhaps you could write to her.

Hi,

In a previous post I put that I couldn't find Glass House Lane, but then I looked at the 1881 census again it is all one word and comes up in 1881 census as around Mill Lane Stoneycroft and the parish is All Saints if that helps.
