Hi Dolly

Sorry, no photos of Oliver St. but I remember it well. Also Oliver St. East with the Gas Showrooms on the corner of Agyll St.

Anyway, I notice you have Booths & Scotts on your tree. So do I. Do you have a Willie Booth or a Charles Henry Booth in Birkenhead/Wirral?

Best regards
Les

Doesn't appear to be one specifically of Oliver Street but there may be others of interest - http://www.wikiwirral.co.uk/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/429353/Index_of_Pictures.html#Post429353 (http://www.wikiwirral.co.uk/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/429353/Index_of_Pictures.html#Post429353)

Hi again Dolly - should have read your signature. Do any of your Wirral "Roberts" have a connection to the "Hamlet" family? (Oft' used as a middle name.) The Roberts/Hamlet family seems to have run an extensive taxi/horse drawn cab business from various premises in Birkenhead - plus or minus 1900.

Cheers
Ray
