New Series - A House through Time

[Martin Briscoe]

I just posted a message on ENG-LIVERPOOL to see if there has been any more information on the families anywhere, I thought it might have been brought up on there but not seen anything.

I am enjoying this series. There is use of census records, birth, marriage and death certificates. There is plenty of social history too and the visit to the synagogue was fascinating.

Please let's have more of this type of programme.

What's ENG-LIVERPOOL? Is it on another site?

ROOTSWEB is back now, they shut down the mailing lists because of some sort of security problem but I think normal again now.

The Archives are still not available. Mailing Lists: Mailing Lists have been functioning as normal, but the archives have been unavailable. We plan to make the archives available to you once we have WorldConnect available to you in a readable version. http://home.rootsweb.ancestry.com/

In episode 2 much was made of the death of John Bowes from cholera in 1854, and how horrified the residents of Falkner Street must have been at a cholera death in their street.

There is a problem with this. John Bowes did not die in Liverpool. He died in Poulton-Le-Sands and is buried there, at Holy Trinity.

I was interested in the Duffy line. Robert Duffy who married Sarah Ann Gemmell his parents were Robert Duffy and Margaret Montgomery. Robert Duffy senior was the son of pre-Famine Irish migrants, Francis Duffy and Margaret Alexander. Possibly from the north of Ireland as Francis and Margaret were both buried in the C of E section of Anfield Cemetery, both died in 1870, same year as Robert Duffy junior was born.

The program does not say he died in Liverpool, it says he died from cholera probably caught in Liverpool. David Olusoga  has the death certificate in his hand and you can see the place of death as Pedder Street Poulton.
