Title: 1871 census street and place of birth
Post by: SkySteve on Sunday 12 April 20 13:02 BST (UK)
Hi All
Could somebody help out with the street name on this 1871 census entry please?
Also the place of birth is eluding me for Thomas Callan.  The enumerator has a strange capital L so I can see Liverpool Lancashire for Sarah Callan and the children (I think) but the place for Thomas Callan I can't.
Thanks

I thought Tipperary but I can only see one P.

Thanks that looks possible.  An entry above has Co Waterford with Ireland as an afterthought and it looks like the ditto applies to Ireland.

I agree with Crumblie, there seems to be an I in the column. AH yes, I see 'do' now

Street name? Steel St then underneath cont ie continued?

I'll leave the street name to those who know more about Liverpool, but bear in mind that it appears to be a continuation of what's on the previous page ('Con' and 'Cont' written against the schedule number (150) and the house number (9)), so it might be clearer there.

For the birthplace, I agree with Tipperary, but it looks to have been spelled Tiparary.

It's definitely Steel Street. Neighbouring Millard Street and Neville Street are enumerated just before it.

Thanks Folks
Good to see where Steel St was.
Curious thing about his place of birth as Tipperary is that on every census after 1871 he gave his place of birth as Liverpool.  Could this have been as a result of the anti-Irish feelings at the time?
