Hi Polly88, do you think we share the same great grandparents, John and Elizabeth Begley ?. Mine lived at 4 Pickering st, Everton, Liverpool. My dad, John, Abraham`s son, grew up at this address and I have a vague memory of being in the shop, which my grandparents ran from the back of the house.I have a picture taken by my dad of his dad Abraham and his dad John in the yard of Pickering St.My dad always referred to his grandfather as Stumpy as he lost his hand in an accident at work, possibly the coal pits in St. Helens ?. My dad was about 12 when he took the picture and you can indeed see John is missing a hand/lower arm. He also took a picture of my grandparents in the same place, Abraham had to sit on a chair as my grandmother , Catherine was only 4.9ins tall !

hi Polly, so nice to hear from you to ! I have only just heard about this site, I heard about it from Liverpool Genealogy, which is a site im on in facebook.I had almost given up on the Begley side of the family, it was always a non starter, as I couldn`t get past my own father !.I am still no further on really. I had just discovered the family were from st.Helens, and I was always under the impression they were from Ireland doh !.My grandfather was Abraham and my dad was his eldest son.I am just on my way to work, but I couldn`t resist replying.Hopefully I will hear from you soon, enjoy your week end with the family. Jac.

i am also looking for information on my grandfather, Abraham Begley, who was born in St. Helens, but later moved to Liverpool with his parents and siblings. Im trying to find his marriage to Catherine Sweeney, originally from Castlebar, Co.Mayo. So far, I have had no luck in locating it, either in Liverpool or Birkenhead ( where they were living when my father John was born ) .
