"Thurlow House" Liverpool

[lesleyhannah]

The latest certificate I've received shows my children's paternal g-g-grandmother's address when she died in 1945 as "Thurlow House" Liverpool .  Does anyone know where this is? She died in Belmont Road (I remember there being a hospital there when I was a child) so I'm guessing it's that sort of area (L4 or L6 I think).

Thanks for any help.

I take it they were tennament/blocks of flats from reading from the bbc site above by Ged Fagan.

Thanks Migky - my mum lived in tenements in south Liverpool just like those in the picture. Still not sure whereabouts in Liverpool Thurlow House was. I'm planning a bit of 'cemetery searching' in the future so the location of the address would be useful.

But very grateful for your help - I've never heard the tenements called anything except 'Gardens' so I was thinking Thurlow House was probably an institution of some kind - completely going down the wrong path, so you've saved me quite a bit of unnecessary searching. thanks again.

Thurlow House was a tenament block on the same site as Gerard Gardens roughly where the flyover into Dale St is now.
You will find Thurlow house on this site.

I know there was a Thurlow Street, off Richmond Row, perhaps it was something to do with that?

Should be in the bottom left hand corner here

Thanks for the links - just spotted my mum's flat in Speke Rd Gardens!

Hope I can ask a second question here - does anyone know where a catholic who died in Thurlow House is likely to be buried? My son's hoping to do a bit of 'graveyard research' but we don't know where to begin.

Any suggestions welcomed, as I can contact the churches to see if they can help.

The big Catholic cemetery was Ford. You could also try Yew Tree and Allerton/Springwood.

Thanks Ann. Don't think it'd be Allerton - but Ford sounds very possible. I'd never heard of it, but will look online to see if it's possible to buy or send for lists of names. Thanks again for your help.
