Lancashire Lookup Offers / Re: Look-up Liverpool (Mersey) Pilots 1734/1990

Dave, Thanks you so much for this info, I assume from the info in the post below yours that MMM is the Mersey Martime Museum, in Liverpool? Could anyone say if you have to prebook to view these records or if you can just call in, is it open every day? Thanks again all for the help. :D

Lancashire Lookup Offers / Liverpool (Mersey) Pilots 1734/1990

Hi, Hope someone can help. I am tracing my husbands family tree and we know that various ancestors were pilots on the Mersey. The surname is Bird. I am looking for detail on George Bird, born approx 1844, and his sons William and Matthew Neill. Georges father and grandfather were also pilots I think, first name starts with a T - may be Thomas Bird, although this info is from a very poor copy of a census return and the initial may be T or I. Any help or guidance will be gratefully received. Thanks in anticipation, :) Polly
