I am grateful for any help in Liverpool research.
My grandfather was born Archie Boor 1 October 1883 at 131 Arlington Street. Father is Matthew Boor a Brass Driller. I am trying to find any further information of where Matthew may have worked, are there any occupation records for Liverpool?
I have looked at the Liverpool Records Office site, entered "Matthew Boor" but nothing returned. They offer professional research starting £10 for 30 minutes but what can they research?
Prior to 1884 the family were in Salford but from Street Directories I see they were at 27 Louis Street Scotland Road in 1885, 27 Akenside Street Bootle in 1886 and 12 Dryden Street Bootle in 1889. By the 1891 census they were at 30 Waterworks Street Bootle. Matthew appears as a Steam Engine Maker - Fitter. He was born in Germany and in the early 1890's the family moved to Salford. Matthew died in 1897.
Can any one help with occupation records so we can learn more about Matthew, we do not know where in Germany he was born.
Many thanks.
Colin
