Good afternoon, does anyone know where Hayton Street was in the Windsor area of Liverpool? I know it existed in the 1840s but can't find a map from that time which labels it. Having looked at enumeration schedules from the 1841 census, it appears to have been close to Embledon Street and Lorton Street, in the area of what is now Beaumont Street.

Thank you

I would say it almost certainly is, or less likely, a close relative with very similar appearance.

Hello, can anyone help me fill in the missing words from this hightlighted extract? What I have managed to read myself (I think):

I give unto Richard Hartshorne my son one stand bed in the little chamber one press in the great chamber one [...] one salting trough one well trough of stone and [.........] and also the [........] the hall chimney [...] of the estate I have conferred upon him [...] shall be and stand for his filial portion

Many thanks

I separate my family history into surnames.

For each surname in my ancestry I have a folder and then subfolders for each generation of that family - in these I put all my sources, which are mostly images of documents.

In the main folder for the surname I have one Word document which gives an overview of each generation, working backwards, containing basic information such as date and place of birth, baptism, marriage, death and burial. In another Word document I write the history of the family in a narrative, again working backwards, pulling together all information from my sources.

This may seem odd or excessively complicated but it works for me. I can manage the vast amount of research. One downside is that it makes everything quite siloed when the history of families can be quite intertwined after couples marry.
