Subject: RE: Ford Cemetery

Hi Patrick

Thanks so much for this information.

Could you please also look up for me Anne or Annie Fleming. Unfortunately I don't know when she died (it's some time after 1901 and before 1940) but I'm pretty certain she's in Ford Cemetery. She'll probably be in a pauper plot.

Thanks,

Clare

Answer sent Monday 11th December 2006

Clare,

Here are three/four possibilities:

Anne Fleming, Ford, G 138 (private plot for Nolan, Hogan & Fleming), 90 Bond Street, age 74, 12/1/1921

Annie Fleming, Ford, 1A 328 (private plot for Callon, Burn & Fleming), 132 Hornby Street, age 53, 6/12/1918

Annie Fleming, Ford, AD 694 (pauper plot), 8 Fletcher Street, age 3 months, 5/9/1913

Annie Fleming, Ford, SJ 815 (pauper plot), 6 Fletcher Street, age 62 years, 12/5/1921

Let me know if you think one of the above is your Anne or Annie Fleming

Regards,

Patrick

Hi Patrick
Many thanks for the burial record of my Grandmother and other relations buried with her, including my sister Anita. There must be a misprint Baker should be Barker but there is no doubt this is the right grave.
I was hoping my Grandfather Daniel Nolan would have buried there. He died Dec 1938 at Whiston Hospital. If you have time I would appreciate it if you would look him up for me.
I have sent my donation to CAFOD's General Fund via your site.
Thank you for all the good work you are doing for CAFOD and for all the people like me looking for their ancestors in Liverpool.
Regards
Catherine

Dear Mr. Neill,

I wondered if you knew of anyone who would take a photograph for me of a family grave in the Ford Catholic Cemetery in Liverpool?

It is Section AH, Grave 16. The family names are SHEARWOOD, KEHOE and BURNS. I would be pleased to pay any fee or cost .

Thank you for your excellent website. Through it, I have been able to contact an unknown cousin & she did not know she had any family at all. It has been wonderful.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs. Julia Meacock,
Great Boughton,

Julie,

I could ask my son (Jonathan) if he could check for a headstone for you. He charges £2.50 to email pictures of any headstone found.
Or £4.00 to post an A4 picture of a headstone. No charge if no headstone found.

I'm glad you found the website of use.

One hour & 15 minutes spent answering 6 family history emails on Monday 11th December 2006

Jane Macgillivray
To: LiverpoolHibernian
Date: 03-Dec-2006 19:05
Subject: Alexvina Dornford

Dear Patrick,

I am a living descendant of the husband of Alexvina Dornford who is mentioned in your emails from:

George O'Leary,
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Answer sent Monday 13th June 2005

I would be delighted to correspond with George O’Leary and wondered whether you could give me his address.

George Smart, born abt. 1818, married at least three times. His first wife was Emma Baines, his second Alexvina Dornford, and in the 1881 census his wife’s name is Jessie. From his first wife, he had son Edward Rowland Smart who was a church minister in Jamaica, then Tobago, then because he ‘lost his voice’, left the ministry and became surveyor in Trinidad. His daughter Dorothy was my grandmother.

I have given you very skimpy information but would be delighted to correspond with George O’Leary and discover how we might be related.

Many thanks indeed for putting the info on the web! I have spent years researching the family of my grandfather John Walker Macgillivray, and have written a book ‘The Dunmaglass Claim’ about the Macgillivray's, but unfortunately have spent little time investigating other ancestors.

Very best wishes,

Jane

Subject: Thanks

Thanks for continuing your work on the website. I have recommended it to my genealogy club as many are Irish descent and are still trying to trace the birth places in Ireland of their grandparents. My grandparents are listed in your list of marriages and I hope to eventually trace the birthplace in Ireland of my grandfather. So many people came to America but listed Ireland and nothing else. I know of several just in my own area digging, and finally some success. I plan to visit the Liverpool area when I get more of my research done on this end because I understand that it is the best way to go about things. Once again, thank you for your work.

Answer sent Monday 11th December 2006

Jan,

I'm glad to be of help. Yes, Irish Family History research is very difficult, especially when our ancestors only give Ireland as their previous address or place of birth. But it also makes it more of a challenge and more rewarding when you eventually track down the ancestral home in Ireland. It took me fifteen years to locate the birth place in Ireland of one of my ancestor; Isaac Neill. So the fact that some Irish and others give their address's in some of the Liverpool RC Marriages registers' is one of the reasons I have set-up the Hibernian website and produced the Liverpool RC Marriage Indexes. See also 'Cultural Roots of the Liverpool People' :

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hibernia/roots/main.htm

It gives address's of Irish and other's...

Yes, you must check out all leads you can at your end before coming to Liverpool to do any research; Marriages, Births, Deaths, Wills, Census, Newspapers, Family Bibles... and talk to any elderly relatives before it's too late, sometime the information they give might not be correct but it might just give the break through you need!

A lot of the RC church marriage register are held at the Liverpool Record Office (LVRO):

http://www.familia.org.uk/services/england/liverpool.html

You must contact the LVRO well before coming to Liverpool, to book microfiche/film readers etc. Here is their Email address:

a) Q4 1869 L'pool age 33,

b) died Q3 1868 L'pool age 36, and

c) Q4 1864 L'pool.

I think one of these may be my G.G uncle as he disappeared off the radar between the 1861 and 1871 census's. Also could you check a Jane Lawless, died Q3 1864 L'pool please. Any details would be very helpful but there's no hurry as I know you get loads of these requests.

Hello,
Upon reviewing your wonderful web site, I think I figured out the best way to discover my ancestors' Irish county of origin. The two marriage entries below were the marriages of two of Peter and Bridget's children. They were born in Ireland before emigration. Thanks for any help you can provide. I would be happy to make a charitable donation in your honour.

Thanks Chris (PS I tried to email Miss McQuade but the Liverpool records office provided an incorrect email address)

Hi Pat,

I am trying to find the grave of my great, great grandfather Peter Cowan. He was born in Scotland, but lived in the parish of Toxteth Park from at least 1881 until his death in the June quarter of 1913. I’m assuming he was probably buried at Toxteth Park cemetery, but don’t know for sure. Can you suggest the best paths I should follow? Being in Australia, it’s tough to do most things! Any tips or hints would be much appreciated.

Hi

I've just found that my 4th Great Grandmother is buried in Ford RC Cemetery, sadly her husband who died six months after her in 1902 is buried in Kirkdale Cemetery, public grave, section 16, Church of England. She also in a public grave at Ford, I've been told its in section A plot 130, I've got the map of Ford Cemetery and I can see section A, it's on the top right hand side of the map but it does not say public as I can see on the map only two public sections. I do have a copy of the burial record and it dose say section A plot 130, I know there will be no stone markers on the public graves. so how will I know where in section A the public graves are? Will it just be a big green space like Kirkdale Cemetery, where you can just make out some plots? I know Kirkdale did have a map on how the plots were laid out but sadly it was lost in a fire. So if you can give me any information on section A public plots, I would be very grateful to you, sorry this is a long e/mail,

Hello!

I am seeking assistance with my family tree research. I am descended from Peter and Bridget Conboy, who emigrated from Ireland to Liverpool in 1850 or 1851. Attached is a copy of the 1861 UK Census record regarding this family.

I am interested in learning Bridget's maiden name (perhaps Flanagan) and the family's townland and county when they lived in Ireland. Unreliable sources have variously claimed that the family was from County Leitrim, County Offaly (Kings) and County Roscommon.

Bridget's maiden name and the family's place of origin may be on various records in the UK. I have looked at all the census records without success. My suggestions for further research: the birth or RC Church baptismal records for the three offspring born in Liverpool--Thomas (born about 1854-55), Joseph (b 1866-7) and Lucy (b. 1859-60). Or Peter and Bridget's death records. Peter died in 1862 in Liverpool. Bridget died in 1900 in Liverpool. Or son James's marriage record---he married Elizabeth Mountain in Liverpool during the summer of 1877.

Please let me know if you can help me and what it would cost. My late father was born in Liverpool but I am in the US. I am enjoying doing my family research and recently found out my grandfather was the second cousin of Sir Joseph Jackson Cleary, the late former Lord Mayor of Liverpool.

Sincerely, Chris Kerr

Children: Rose Ann 1855, Sarah 1859, Mary Ellen 1860 christened at Our Lady of Reconciliation 22 Dec 1860, Edward 1864 all Liverpool.

Patrick was a Tea Dealer at 12 & 53 Summer Seat 1845-1862. He died between 1862 -1868 not sure where he was buried or when he died exactly.

I have no idea of where Patrick is buried, who his first wife was or when where they married or where she is buried.
How do I go backwards with Patrick to trace where in Ireland he was from. I have found a possible brother Morgan O'Brien on 1881 census for Liverpool it states he is a Police Constable/Superintendent born Tipperary but whether this is same Morgan O'Brien from 1841 census I can't be sure.

Any ideas or advice greatly appreciated to help me proceed with my O'Brien family.

Times were very hard and I appreciate that formal celebrations like we have now are totally out of the question. Do you think many pictures of the happy couple would have been taken? I am something of a novice in terms of constructing family trees and some of the questions that I have asked you may be naive but if you do not ask you will never find out.

Is St Sylvester's church still open today? I went to Archbishop Whiteside school as a boy and I remember a church quite close to the school. Is that St Sylvester's?

Enough questions. Thank you Pat for responding to my email.
Hope to hear from you soon. Frank (exiled scouser) living in Cardiff, South Wales. Have a happy 2007.

Frank,

I don't have access to the records to St Sylvester's RC church, the church marriage register is held at the Liverpool Record Office (LVRO):

If you contact the LVRO, they may give you the full details for FREE.

Here is their Email address:

If you want a copy of a Civil Marriage Certificate, you will need to
contact the Liverpool Register Office, see:

Yes, the church is still open. I'm not sure on the location of Archbishop Whiteside school, but St Sylvester's is in St Silvester's Liverpool L5.

Regards,

Patrick
