jam factory in liverpool, Hyton with Roby

[malijibic]

I have been talking to my brother and he is convinced that we are looking for Humphrey Jones, born in 1871, daughter Jane born 1900's. She was the one I remember being involved in the jam business.
Thank you for taking time to search for me.

there was also a Jam factory called Nelsons  ,it also  was in Long Lane  ,both long gone

So was Humphrey still alive in the 1950s if he was born 1871,and did his daughter Jane marry,or was she a spinster,when she was involved in the Jam factory,

Dont know if anyone is interested but there is a book  called 
BITTERSWEET
the story of Hartleys Jam 
Doe  7631

Having lived in Huyton from birth until 1964 I don't remember any jam factory.

You must excuse me if I ramble,

Kellys directory of Liverpool 1938
Humphrey Jones ,hairdresser
Dinas lane
is this in  Huyton

Yes it is in the Page Moss area. Very near where I used to live. In 1938 it was Liverpool 14. All the council houses in Huyton came under Liverpool Corporation hence the area code.

Another Liverpool jam factory was Fletts, although there seems little information available.

I have an advert for Fletts in a 1930s road atlas.  They boast of their jam, honey, bottled fruit,VG Sauce, VG Pickle.  Their logo was an eight pointed star with a Liver Bird in the centre.
They were at Everton Valley, Liverpool 4.

Thanks for all the information
Radcliff  I do not think that Humphrey was alive in the 50's but I remember his wife Lissie, she must have been in her late eighties, early nineties in 1963.
Daughter Jane, (possibly Elizabeth Jane) did not marry.

Hi,
Just seen the post, so sorry for the time gap.
The Clock Tower Jam Factory was quite definitely Hartley's as many have answered, and it had the Clock Tower [ a number of Photo's around].   In addition Jacobs Biscuits was also close to it in Long Lane, so definitely not at Huyton.
Humphrey Jones was originally a Commercial Traveller for a Biscuit Company, but may well have switched later to Hartleys Jam operation as he lived at Walton.
The daughter was Elizabeth Jane, and there are a number of Marriages for an Elizabeth Jane that would fit her age and Walton Address, but obviously if we now know she didn't marry, then there are no ancestors to tie in with her life in later years !
It looks like Humphrey's death in BMD's at Liverpool North SQ 1953 aged 79, which makes him born around 1874.
Cheers,
Long Tom.
