Grove House, Penny Lane

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have just discovered that two members of my family lived at Grove House, Penny Lane in the 19th Century - Andrew Kurtz and his cousin (and housekeeper) Julia Williams Turner.

Can you provide me with any history and/or images of the house, or direct me to someone who can assist ?

Sincerely,

Steven Turner

Submarine Sunk in Liverpool Bay

Whilst recently searching through newspapers from 1939, I came by chance upon the drama of the submarine sunk in Liverpool Bay with the loss of 80 men.  

 

Maybe I missed it, but I can find no links on your website.

 

Best wishes for the future development of your excellent site.

St. James's Hall on Lime Street

Hello,

I'm not sure that this qualifies as a general question, but I have been searching (desperately) for a picture of St. James's Hall, on Lime Street -- preferably dating from the 1860s. Have searched the internet using every method I can think of and looked in all the Liverpool books and British theatre books I have access to.

I'll be giving a paper at a conference next Thursday so it's kind of last-minute, but if you can assist in any way I will be very grateful.

All the best,

Brian

The Ocean Monarch Fire 1848

The Ocean Monarch by Liverpool Marine Painter Samuel Walters 

who is buried at Anfield Cemetary

Do you have any information concerning the fire in Liverpool area back in about Nov. 29, 1848?  William Strand (my Great Grand-father) was a seamen on the vessel "New World" and assisted saving citizens on the vessel "The Ocean Monarch".  Any assistance on finding news articles and/or pictures would be appreciated.

Thank you,
