Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Durkin Family, 1891 Census, Liverpool
« on: Saturday 18 February 12 14:09 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

My great grandfather was also James Durkin (a french polisher), I have a copy of Census of Ireland which he although born in Liverpool was living in Belfast, Ireland.  He was born around 1881, and his wife was Elizabeth, with 6 children at the time of census, one of which was my grandmother.  When they lived in Liverpool they attended SFX church, as they lived around Everton Brow.  I wonder if you are a cousin?

Lancashire / Re: remember Coopers Church St Liverpool
« on: Sunday 12 February 12 14:29 GMT (UK)  »
I remember Coopers.  It closed when I was a small child, but my grandmother worked as a silver service waitress in the restaurant, which was on the upper floors, she was irish and worked there for about 25 years, her best friend was scottish and also worked there for great number of years, they both worked until the shop closed circa 1969.  Very high class restaurant - beautiful food.  The ground floor had the coffee grinding as you went in through the door on Church Street, it was located to the left.  They did have live chicks in the main window at Easter too.  There was another entrance in Paradise Street, which led into where the fish was sold in the Food Hall.  I wish this store was still here, it would be a fantastic shop to have with all the food from all over the world, and old fashioned services like delivery, which ironic since the supermarkets now do this.
