Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: 1871 census Liverpool- 24 Howe Street Everton- hercules

My mother's grandparents were also Joseph Alexander Hercules and Elizabeth Cain. Charles Hercules was the father
of Joseph and is listed as a grocer in Liverpool. The Cain family
came from Douglas IOM. I have been searching in particular
for the origins of the Hercules family pre- Howe Street, L'pool but without succes to date. Our family story was that the Hercules were Italian but this name is Ercoli in Italy and in Greece I understand it is Herakles. Possibly it was anglicized by
an immigrant in the UK. The Liverpool Record Office say there is no listing of Joseph Alexander Hercules in the death at sea indexes.
