Lancashire / Re: KIRKDALE HOMES, LIVERPOOL
« on: Friday 03 September 10 13:43 BST (UK)  »
Just found this discussion when I googled "241 Westminster Road"... and thought this information might help:

I have in front of me the death certificate of my father-in-law's stepfather who died at Kirkdale Homes in 1960. The death certificate lists both the Kirkdale Homes address, and his wife's (= my husband's grandmother's) address in Huyton. We understand that he suffered from dementia and that his wife was no longer able to look after him.

So - it would appear that it was NOT a place for homeless people. Perhaps people were listed as "of no fixed abode" if they had no other home?

Thank you.
Can you see my Francis McCusker, please?

I'm afraid not... and I've tried all sorts of variants and wildcards as well. In fact I couldn't find anyone by that name, or any similar name, anywhere... the nearest match was someone in Lancashire, but he was of the wrong age.

I've just put this to the test by going to findmypast and doing a street name search for 1881 - entered Victoria Street as the street name and Alderney as the place name and the right Victoria Street came up... with all sorts of very familiar-sounding surnames  (I'm semi-resident on the islandl)
