Mayfair Hotel in Park Lane

Hi Rob,

I have a superb painting of the Mayfair Hotel in Park Lane 1950 — there is a sub-title called Cain’s Folly. I would like to know if this building is still standing (suspect not —its too nice) and why was it called Cain’s Folly.

Many Thanks
John

Moon Street off Pleasant Street.

Hi

Does anybody have any photos of the Brownlow Hill area of Liverpool, pre 1930's ?

I'm particularly interested in MOON Street, which is just off Pleasant Street. My father's family lived at number 48 for many years & I have a photo of the front of a house and I need to establish if this house is in Moon Street, as this will help me to identify a person in the photo.

The houses have long since been demolished

Thank you

8 Morris Street Everton

HAVE I STRUCK GOLD???

I have been searching for a LIVERPOOL/EVERTON street location for several years now, all part of my family history research. My great great grandmother was the product of an American Sea Captain and a Liverpudlian lady, when she married she gave her address as 8 Morris Street, I am presuming this was in Everton as she married at the Parish church of St Emmanuel,Everton in 1874.

It would be wonderful just to find if anyone could pinpoint this street and even better if I could find out the name of the house residents at that time.

Jug with "Liverpool Fly"

Hi,

I have acquired a pottery jug, 6 ½” tall, painted with a coaching scene on the side panels of which is written “Liverpool Fly.  The jug is circa 1795 (as sold to me), but could be anything up to circa 1820. In perfect condition tho' with a little touching up to the coach.

I have done some research in a few Gages directories of that era but to no avail – there are many named Liverpool coaches but no “Liverpool Fly” that I can trace.

Photos attached - Any ideas?

Best Wishes,

John O'Laverty Jan 1942

I am trying to trace my Grandfathers Wearabouts during WW2. I have found a Death Cert for a John O'Laverty in Jan 1942. John was an Iron rivitter and a ship builder.. I am from Southampton so was my father I have an address for John on my Father's Birth certificate. This John O'Laverty could possibly be a relative and died in the Bomb raid in Jan 1942.. I am trying to find out details of where he may have worked in the docks. Was from Iish decent not sure if he had family in LIVERPOOL... contacts with Belfast John Joseph O'laverty.

Any records dock records or address details I would appreciate which would give me a clearer picture.. documentation in Southampton formerly kown in Southampton 1918 as my father was born there as was I and my 2 children.

Ship building was grandfather's trade.. The Titanic came to us from Belfast so he ended up in Liverpool and if it is him who died in the bomb raid possibly in Stanhope St or close by ..

I am eager to know dates talley ideas of where I can find more details..

Harrison Street

 

 

I am carrying out some family research and have just found out that my great-great grandparents lived in Harrison Street at about 1871, so seeing the map above was very interesting. 

 

If anyone has any information or pictures of Harrison Street or nearby I would be very grateful. 

 

Thank you, David.
