Hi glenarm...I moved from 63 St Marys rd last november...this is the corner shop on Jackson St/St Marys rd....the triplets (girls) were born in Jackson St....they are around 50 now...do you remember them??..our shop has been firstly a pub The Grapes Inn,then an offlicence then in 1922 the Co-op clothes store ,then a pram shop and then a bed shop....we sold it in february and its being turned into a Bistro I believe...allan
added...I grew up in 25 bennett st and later 11 heald st...I would be interested who lived in these houses...in 1889 11 heald st was probably a firemans house..my family lived in 10 banks rd for a hundred years...cheers

;) Hi Allen I think I know who you I think your wife is a cousin to my brother in law D H my sister was Pat who so sadly passed away 6 yrs ago .
Allen at 10 Banks Road Danial Oakes lived by trade he was a labourer
there was no 11 Heald Street in 1889 nos 2 6 8 10 only one side of the street was built ( no 2 was coop ) (no6 joseph Rawlins builder ) no8 was the liberal club and in number 10 mc cullogh engineer then the Welsh ChapeL
Blennett Street Idont believe Bennett Street was built at that time as its not in the book and that is usually the reason.
I do remember the triplets I thought they came from James Street I must have been mistaken
my great grand father lived in no 1 Jackson Street untill 1890s
and my grand parents in vulcan were I sorry could not help you more

;)Hi Iria up to now I have not come across it but I will keep trying its a pity you did not have any idea where the street was as some of the streets had not been built in 1889 l leave it with me any way

Hiya Betty....yes...I know who you are through my wife...Pat was a lovely girl,had many a laugh with her and Dave..I still have an occasional pint with Dave when I see him...my wife said to tell you 15th July....Pat died on our daughters birthday.
yes I`m stupid...I knew our house in Heald St was built in 1890.....and Bennett st in 1892....how daft am I ??.. BTW I was in the Pandemonium with Dave and Jimmy for 11 years,,,had some laughs.....regards...allan

;)Hi Allen,
thanks for that I am a member of ancestral villages I gave in your name and I am now in a queue waiting to be activated it looks a good site . I started my research years ago writing hundreds of letters going down to the William brown library our pat and Dave used to accompany me,.when I made a hit you could hear me all over the library I think they thought I had lost it. you just get carried away with it . I have my maternal tree back to 1811 my paternal one to 1828 and johnny family back to 1856
Allen if you have Irish ancestors try emerald ancestors it is a brilliant site ,I am a member of so many now sometimes you get good results others not a lot but they are handy just the same .
I remember you all in the band you all had a whale of a time good days sadly gone now. I miss our Pat so much when she went a part of me went with her . Al tell Ann it was my mam who passed away 15 july Pat died on 28 April
well Allen it was really nice talking to you I wish you and Ann and all your family A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR
love Betty

I am also researching this topic and was so delighted to find your message on this site. This photographer was my husbands grandfather but because all of the family have died I was having difficulty finding this information and he also called his business by his Christian names rather than using his surname.

;) Hi agg
sorry I am not researching Morris Richards what it was a researcher in Ireland came across a photo which had been passed to her it was assumed that photo could have been my father. The person in question did not know if on the back of the photo the address said Garston liver,pool or Garstang which is near to Black POOL so I made a request on rootsweb to see if someone may know of this studio marg replied it was at 108 St Marys Road.
However when the photo did arrive it was not my father after all, in spite of us living in Garston.It dawned on me later who Morris Richards was . I was to young to know him but I had heard of him he was also known by his nick name Dickie Twice .
sorry I could not be more help

Thurstance T Reginald Gibson married in St Michaels C of E Church ,Garston in 1919 to Mary E Webster
Thurstance T Reginald Gibson married in Holy Trinity RC Church ,Garston in 1924 to Mary E Coxsey
do you know what the T after Thustance stands for ????allan
ADDED...ok Thurstance Thomas Reginald Gibson b dec qtr 1898 in Derby....
-
OK....it`s a bit delicate now because Thurstance and Mary E Coxsey had 5 children between 1925 and 1943....
the youngest born 1943 , a girl ,was registered in Garston....I Think...I was registered in 1951...Wavertree ...which incorporates Garston...so I am presuming she was in Garston.....We are not allowed to publish living names, so I cannot do that....there does not appear to be any children for Thurstance and Mary E Webster...
go to www.lancashire.org.uk for the Marriages and birth registrations ....
allan
-
Thank you very much Garstonite
I think the T stands for Thomas.I know nothing about my grandfathers side of the family.I do know my grandfather william married a lady called lily in the wirral in 1935.They settled in north wales
I am trying to make contact with my grandfathers family but came to a standstill at saunby street.
If you have any more info on the rest of the family that would be great thanks Sian :)

William M Gibson and Lily Lloyd married in dec qtr 1935 on the Wirral...and then moved to Wrexham,North Wales.
they had 3 children in Wrexham....and very possibly 1 in 1934 in Garston area (West Derby registration) and one 3 months before their marriage ..the child registered sep qtr 1935 in Birkenhead (the Wirral).....
their youngest child was born sep qtr 1947....allan

ADDED...you will have to make one more post before I can PM you :)

Hi Allan
Thank you very much for all this info.My grandparents william and lily had 55 children that we know of.The youngest was my father born in 1947.We didnt know about the other two but again thank you.
Sian :)

:D sorry thats 5 children not 55 :D

I'm researching a Lilian Mary Gibson b 2 Dec 1902 who married Albert Edward Wakeham. Can you help?
-
Hiya...I know a J*** Wakeham here in Garston...he would be around 42 ...I will ask him if they are any relation to him....where do you live? and are you in touch with any Wakeham family in Garston ?......allan :)
-
Thanks Alan for the reply.
My Grandmother Lilian Mary Gibson married Albert Edward Wakeham in 1921.
1911 Census shows Lilian as living in 56 Saunby St Garston and Albert in 17 Raglan St Garston. They had 2 children and then something happened, perhaps he left for someone else. My Grandmother would not talk about it. She remarried twice. They went onto live in Pighue Lane and then to the Bowring Park area.
Only other reference I have is that my dad got a telegram whist at sea that his father had died suddenly on 13 Jan 1946. Not sure if this relates to his actual father or the person he thought was his father. Regards David

Jolly nice of you, Garstonite!
I am looking into my grandfather named Henry Gerard Connor. He married Mary Alice Ross in 1917 in Kirkdale but the family was living on Long Mile Road where my uncles Harry, Desmond, Aunt Joan and my Dad Len were all born.
They immigrated to Canada in 1825.
Now my gran Mary Alice was a piano player and singer. She may have put in an appearance or two at the George Inn on St Mary's Road as her father's (Joseph Ross) barber shop was attached to it. My granddad was also a piano player-classical was more his style. Mary Alice had the opportunity to go to New York City in 1915 to accompagny silent films. I belive she may also have sung in London. Are any of these long time Garstonites known to you? I sure hope so!
Cheers!
Nathalie :)
-
Sorry they immigrated in 1925! :-[
-
Loads of Ross family here in Garston...and the George is still open...
and the Connor family boys areall good boxers...Iknow both families well
allan :)
-
Wonderful!
Henry Connor had younger siblings- Jane who married a Mr. Ball; her twin Francis married a Meyer; Albert married Pauline Tollerfield and Edward I have yet to discover. The last address I have for them was Melbourne St. in Everton in 1911. The Connor lads on this side of the ocean excelled at swimming-not much need for boxing here!
Now my grandmother had step-siblings-Maud, George, and two others that escape me at the moment. To confuse matters, she also had an older brother George. I have seen the George Inn inside and out from photos on the net. Joseph and Mary (Maginnis-there are loads of them in Garston!) moved to James Street eventually.
I wonder if the Connors/Rosses you know are from my lot...
Any way to explore the possibilities?
Let me know-I am anxious to connect with my Scouse kin!
Cheers@

Hiya Evie
Google Garston Woodcutters Social Club
and on the home site you will see on the left hand side a Geneaology link.
Members of the club have a discussion thread on there ...My mate is from Vulcan Street- I will ask him about the Bates family.
There are Bates family here, but it may be a while before I see any to ask them..

This photographer was my husbands grandfather but because all of the family have died I was having difficulty finding this information and he also called his business by his Christian names rather than using his surname.
We have family photos from this photography studio with stamps on the back that say "Richards Carleton Studio Garston" "Morris Richards Photographer Carlton Studio Garston" and one with 2 stamp for Morris and a newer one on top with "Portrait by H.V. Richards 25 or 29 Wood Street Wakefield" and my dad said Dick twice was actually Richard Richards. I wonder if Richard Richards is Morris Richards father? the photos date from 1923, 1934, 1940, 1942
-
HELLO THERE,
It was my Granny's brother who had the shop. Their original family name was Cheetham and they all changed their name to Richards... Hence one brother become known at Dickie twice. There were a lot of brothers (and also 3 sisters), and most of the brothers were photographers also. Hence the one in Wakefield. Are you a descendant of this family or have you just found some photos from the shop?
There are quite a lot of descendants still around by the way. Perhaps they will contact you.

Hello Dottie, I am descended from cousins of Dickie Twice's wife according to my dad who met him. He mentioned other cousins Edwards's, Peggie Sharp and Ditchburn's does that ring a bell?
Thanks for the fast reply :-)
