Thanks CD. I had found this and this is what started me wondering why so many are missing, I was hoping they hadn't been destroyed...

Thanks Blue, I think I might have to bite the bullet and send for the death certificate for 1937....  Irene

Thanks Scouseboy and BumbleB for your help. I have seen the death in 1937 but I was hoping to find other evidence before I sent for the death certificate that might not be him.  Unfortunately there is another John Poole, also a seaman, who was born in 1882. I wish he had a more unusual name!

Yes, I hadn't thought of that. As if it wasn't hard enough to find people, he had to be a seaman!

Sorry Scouseboy, I should have explained that I knew that. John Poole is the brother of my great grandfather (who as a seaman really could have gone anywhere) so I am searching locally first. I have also tried the 1939 register but no joy.

I've been searching for John Poole, able seaman (Merchant Service) born in Birkenhead in 1881 and I've not been able to find him past the 1901 census where he was living with his mother Mary Poole in Methuen Street Birkenhead. His 2 brothers lived in Birkenhead and Liverpool so I have been searching in both places.

Thanks very much for these quick replies. I was dreading someone telling me all the records had been destroyed in the Liverpool bombings! I'll carry on searching for the elusive family members

I'm researching my family history and can access Ancestry, Findmypast, FamilySearch and Lancashire Parish Online.   I've noticed that there are many missing death records on Lancashire BMD website for the Liverpool area.  Does anyone know why and is there anywhere else I can look apart from the sites I have listed?

Foggs Place, Alpha Street and Omega Street are all shown on the Alan Godfrey Manchester (Oxford Street and Gaythorn) map of 1849. They are in the Knott Mill area in the triangle formed by Little Peter Street, Commercial Street and Jordan Street.  This is a link to a later map, but you can see where they are in today's city
