~~~~~~~~
My great grandmother Annie Higgins ms Darragh died in Busby, Renfrewshire 01/01/1912.
On her death record it stated that her deceased  parents were Patrick Darragh (Darroch in Scotland) and Ellen Boyd

Annie Darragh was married aged  22 in 1861 to Gilbert Higgins , a soldier,at Ahoghill C Antrim 1st Presbyterian church and they were both living in Ahoghill at that time.

I'm trying to find out when/where Ellen Boyd & Patrick Darragh were married. Also--where/when Ellen Boyd was born and any siblings she had

Any help/advice would be very welcome please

Thank you --Eileen

The original records for Liverpool Kirkdale Homes which was situated at 241 Westminster Road are held at Liverpool. They will be available at the temporary City Library site in Sandhills. There is a 100 year closure on these records, so the only person who can retrieve the information is the research officer and there will be a charge.

Thank you for this information oldbones --will make a note of it--Eileen

Thank you for this Mike--interesting that it was their signatures so maybe as there was the variation  they weren't related--though I gather that both spellings were used then, so still not 100% sure if this was the same family  and common usage eventually brought the change about--will make a note of this

On my father's side there is one group within the family who at one stage  seemed to have picked up a slightly different spelling and kept it although definitely the same family

I should explain ....I just thought maybe he died in The Police Station....he may have been found by a Policeman and was in a bad way / taken there and died  there...hence ...the statement ..informer  occupier ..ie the police ?...it may be an explanation...allan :)

Now there's a thought!!
(Incidentally my family are long time Evertonians over several generations)

However--if my cousin was correct & she isn't 100% so, someone in the family was notified that my g father  was in the Kirkdale Homes as he was seriously ill. The informant was named--Geo Armstrong--no occupation given. I can remember that some of the "whispers" were about my dad going or not going to see him & he eventually  went from what my mother said years later--however--I didn't know where dad  went & assumed as somehow I gathered that G father was ill that  he was in hospital. Nobody seems to know where he was buried.
Think I will google the Dr's name

My grandmother was in the Kirkdale Homes in the 1960/70's and it was very much a geriatric ward.

The Liverpool Library Service at its temporary location within The World Museum will be open from the 1st September 2010.

The opening times are 10am till 5pm. It has been clearly marked as you enter the World Mureum by green footsteps on the floor going up the stairs to the Horseshoe Gallery. Those using the lifts the Horseshoe Gallery is on the second Floor.

The system for using the machines is on a first come first served basis. There will be no telephone bookings.

Archives which are in original form will not be available till October.

Watch this for updates

Just found this discussion when I googled "241 Westminster Road"... and thought this information might help:

I have in front of me the death certificate of my father-in-law's stepfather who died at Kirkdale Homes in 1960. The death certificate lists both the Kirkdale Homes address, and his wife's (= my husband's grandmother's) address in Huyton. We understand that he suffered from dementia and that his wife was no longer able to look after him.

So - it would appear that it was NOT a place for homeless people. Perhaps people were listed as "of no fixed abode" if they had no other home?

Thank you for this Angelika--I have a feeling that by this time my grandfather was homeless--was talking about this on Wed with cousins & we wondered if he had lived in some sort of hostel and gone into the K homes when ill--my younger cousin thinks  she remembers  her mother visiting  him there because he was very ill--we assume that granny must have been informed as next of kin even though he left her many years before-there was never any divorce.
I understand that K homes changed the name to Westninster homes for elderly & infirm or similar, but no doubt people still used the Kirkdale Homes name!
