This is a very interesting site and tells of the non tolerance of a religion other than C.O E.
In Days far gone. when records were not kept for Non Conformist's.

Hello Andre today i did a look up for you after asking for the non conformist burial film. On that film are the burial's in Flaybrick cemetery in Birkenhead. Even though i had the right dates of death. None of your family are on it
The other Cemetery is Landican  also in B/Head.which i have visited in the past. I know that all religions seem to be buried there. I didn't have time to go through that film, Landican is not old. it didn't open till 193?  so your ancestors might be buried there i don't know.
 
I also got the same results when looking for Jan's ancestors.

Hi Celia. Re looking for Fountains Lodge. Rake Lane .I would have expected it to be close to Fountains Road, possible on one of the corners.??  I looked at a map!
 Great great grandaddy Augustus Stephen J Pomeroy lived there after he retired from Albert Dock Company
He was Principle of General Office and Receiver of Charges and duty Superintendent of the Albert Dock Offices. In 1880  he was 63, and was  Retired. 
In 1881 one he was living in Fountains lodge with his widowed daughter in law Elizabeth and two grandsons Edgar and Campbell Pomeroy. (Listed as Porncoy in census) He died in 1884 and the boys went off to USA in 1888.
A picture would be brilliant!
:~)))))))))

Hi Annie, I cant find your original post anywhere, or my reply. However i did do a short Research at the time
( in case the enquirer's dont reply to mails containing information sent;) I had never seen Fountain Road in Rake Lane, so i went to the library,hoping to find a street map. They didn't have any, I then looked at he Gores Directory. It wasn't there either So where too from there A few days ago i remembered that the Directory only gives Main Roads. But if looked at it more closely it gives the Off Main road and the off,off ones  By coincidence i got your mail earlier today. The day i was going Along Rake lane, I had bought a street map, at last 
so i looked up Fountain Road. Found it but couldn't find anything that resembled a lodge. One end is more like an entry. I took a photo, Will have a cup of tea, then go to the library, as it stays open late today.It's 4.30 now so tune in later with results i hope to get.

Next time I visit the library I will track back in Liverpool to see how long Your G.G.Grandaddy was there. Then I will track down to his death year in 1884. Have you any idea what side of the Water he died on?

Wow thats brilliant. !! Thank you so much!
I wonder who Charles R Pomeroy was?!!
I shall send it all to my Pom cousin she'll be puzzled too I think!
 Harrison W the purser is of our family! It should read Harrison H for Hornblow! What a name to conjure with!!! If you come across anything more about him we'd be interested ! He got into some sort of trouble in , possibly embezzlement, in about 1911 and went down for it! We think he got about 8 or 10 years but unfortunately even now, his son who is still alive in Australia, wont talk about it , so we are consumed with curiosity!!!

 Augustus death is known 29 May 1884 and we have his will , although we dont know where he was buried. Possible in the Rake Lane Cemmy.
 I found my map by chance looking for something else on the WWW . a body building centre in Rake lane that attracted my attention and it had a map attached.

Many Thanks!

Hi Annie i was just about to log off when i saw your reply.
and i  am glad to been of some help to you.
I will take any Pomeroy's i find in the books because the only ones i came across are the ones i sent you. Depending in what sort of book i look at. The full name is not always given in regard to initials.In Those days some had three middle names so might only have given the first two initials. Do you have a death certificate for your  Augustus?
When i was at the library last night i mentioned to one of the staff who know me through my many visits. That i had been to Fountain road earlier and couldn't imagine where the lodge could have been. She said Oh it got demolished  years ago :(I used to pass it everyday on my way to school. What a shame. As the landscape has changed so much it's impossible to say where it once stood. Because your ancestor died in 1884 there is a good chance that he was living at Alexander Terrace at the time. I have now looked at my Wirral Street Atlas and there is An Alexander Road in Wallasey so it would have been there somewhere. There are also Two warwick Drives one in Wirral :- and one in Wallasey. As with Kingway a very long road it is still there.
