Thanks for all your hard work Shaun,

You may be right about her pub career starting again later, but family rumour is that she had property and a pub before she met Thomas O'Grady and her ran up debts leaving her pretty destitute. He died in 1912 and is noted on my g grandmother's marriage certificate as a licensed victualler (deceased) Mary married again (to a Tom Manley) and I'm not sure if she resumed her career as a landlady.

Thanks again for all your help, it's much appreciated.

Best wishes,

Jenni

Thanks Ainslie,

A very informative reply! Looks like the King's Arms is the most likely candidate. Apparently poor Mary's husband was an alcoholoic and drank away the business and they lost the pub and her savings.

Thanks again, I'll plan a visit to the record office next time I visit Liverpool.

Best wishes,

Jenni

Hi everybody and Happy New Year!

I'm currently trying to find the name of the pub my gggrandmother Mary O'Grady/Manley (nee Dunlop) ran around this period of time. A relative on the same hunt sent me this rather fascinating map:

Can anybody name the three pubs? They lived at various addresses in Kitchen Street but mostly at number 6.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks everyone,

Apparently Ellen Lavell married a John Dunlop and they're are family rumours that she was quite a successful landlady in the kitchen street area so I was trying to check out her work history in the hope I can identify her pub.

Thanks again for all your help, you've been brilliant!

Hi Everybody,

Just wondering if anyone knows the name and what kind of establishment was at 29 London Road, Liverpool city centre in 1871 as one of my ancestors (Ellen Dunlop) was employed here as a waitress.

Thanks in advance,

Lancashire / Re: Baptism record - Martha Ann Edwards (Dykes)

Thanks anyway Redpuma,

I've got her birth certificate and (surprise surprise!) no father was listed. Finding a baptism record was my last hope of finding the real father, but it doesn't look likely I'll come across it.

Thanks for taking the time to reply and good luck with your familt tree,

Lancashire / Baptism record - Martha Ann Edwards (Dykes)
« on: Sunday 02 November 08 10:10 GMT (UK)  »
Hello everybody,

I'm trying to locate my gt gt grandmother's baptism record to see if there is any record of a father. She was born Martha Ann EDWARDS (Mother - Eliza Edwards, a domestic servant) but her name changed to Martha Ann DYKES when her mother married a James Campbell Dykes in 1883.

She was born 26th April 1881 in 128 Wolfe Street Toxteth Park, so the baptism would probably have taken place in St John the Baptist?

I've searched the christening record on Ancestry but found nothing. Anybody got any suggestions what I should do next?

Thanks in advance,

Jenni
