Dear Rob of  Liverpool History Society,

I am researching a fellow American, Alan Hanckel who died in Liverpool at the turn of the 1900`s.  I am particularly interested in the location of his grave.  I would be grateful for any assistance you may be able to provide.

Grave of  Alan Hanckel in need of repair

An employee of Fraser Trenholm originally from South Carolina. Hanckel acted as a representative of James Bulloch on occasions when Bulloch was unavailable. He was onboard the Trent during the boarding and witnessed the events that took place. Hanckel carried papers for the South to England, including the papers the diplomats were carrying on the Trent.

. Hanckel was used as a nominal owner of ships including the Bermuda, which carried a huge amount of war supplies to the South.


Photographic images of Bessie Braddock

Dear Sir/Madam,

I’m currently working on a BBC production relating to the history of Liverpool. I’m looking for photographic images of Bessie Braddock that we would be able to use in the programme and was wondering if you  have anything of her in your collection?

Warm regards,

Mossley Hill Hospital

Hello there

I am doing some family history and I have a relative (my great grandfather) who died and was buried at the Ministry of pensions hospital, on Park avenue in 1930
I have done some research  and have found that the hospital is now known as Mossley Hill
I was wondering who would be best to contact regarding my relative? Are there any graves in that area?
Thanks
John Bishop
