Prince Edwin Street liverpool

[purlin]

Trying to trace where anyone who died in Prince Edwin Street Liverpool in the year 1853 would be likely to have been buried. They were of Scottish birth.  ( I don't think they were Catholic)  I have looked at an index of cemeteries held by the liverpool records office,
 http://archive.liverpool.gov.uk/dserve.exe?&dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=NaviTree.tcl&dsqDb=Catalog&dsqItem=352%20CEM/1/16&dsqField=RefNo

This index helps to exclude some of the local cemeteries because of the dates they were opened.

Any ideas?

Hi Purlin

It might be worth contacting the Scottie Press website at http://www.scottiepress.org.uk/main.htm

They seem to cover the area you're looking at and have plenty of information and links.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for that Lynne.  I have seen that site before but had forgotten about it.  Yes, it could well have some relevance.

Hi Purlin,

I looked in Liverpool St Directories for that year. I couldn't find a Prince Edward St, but I did find a Prince Edwin St. Everton.

Thats the one Redcop, Prince Edwin St. Everton.  I think it ran from the top of Everton by the Heights down over Cazeneu St. towards Scottie Rd. 

As i say I am wondering where someone living in that area and dying during 1853 would have been buried.  Anfield didnt open until 1863 Kirkdale also later than 1850's, which leaves possibly ST. Mary's Walton or i think there was one called the Necropolis in the Everton or Kirkdale areas.

Thanks, Purlin.

Hi Purlin,

ok. I will have another look when I go to the RO. It wont be for a couple of weeks, cos they close for 2 weeks this week end, for annual maintanence. I don't know off the top of my head which cemetery. I will have to ask at the RO.
