Liverpool Catholic Schools 1840/1850s

[lesleystree]

St Anthony's  in Scotland Road, has a very active Family History Group.

Why not write to the Group at the Church and see what they can do for you.

The Old Courts were still around in the 1950's as were the wash-houses.  a good book to read about those times is "The Life and Times of Kitty Wilkinson.

ooh thank you for that Dancing Master I will do as you say.

I have some catholic ancestors who lived in Naylor Street in Liverpool in the 1840s/50s.

I was wondering where their children would go to school and what sort of education (if any) they would experience?

Would there be schools especially for Catholic children? Would they have any local schools nearby that they could attend?

NB When their father died, he was buried in St Anthonys which I believe is the Scotland Road area, however I don't know much about that area or whether it is close to Naylor Street.

I think I need to find a map (actually I do have an 1851 & indeed other maps but am struggling as the writing is so small and I have no idea where I'm looking)

Many thanks

Edit: Thank you - I now know where Naylor Street is & St Anthonys

Hello Viv :

I noticed you quoted my post, did you mean to write something along side it?

Hi  Lesley,
I've just been reading all the messages posted and I'm fascinated.  My gg grandparents lived in Naylor St as well. On some documents it says they lived in  3 Court and later on at 46 Naylor St.  Gg grandmother died of cholera age 40 and gg grandfather died soon afterwards.  I have been looking at the maps on the leverpoole site - absolutely briliant.  I'm hoping to go to Liverpool in the next month or two to see if I can find any school records etc. to try and tie up a few loose ends (of which I have many!!!!!!!!!!).
Thank you for your message - 'Im just trying to work out how the RootsChat works.
Regards Viv

Which reminds me I haven't posted this better photograph of Court No 3.



Lesley/Viv...if you want a high res photograph (6.5 mb) send me a PM with an email address.

Lesley..the property top right is in the commercial yard next door. But there are two sets of steps going to what should be House 5.

btw..I found a note in the 1881 census in another area of Liverpool saying that the names of the courts had been taken down, leaving only the numbers.
