I've just put the following in the armed forces section but feel it should go here as well.  I don't know how to link so this is it.

I'm not sure if it is mentioned anywhere else but there is a memorial to all the Wallasey (Formerly Cheshire) men who fell in the first war situated inside Wallasey Hospital in Mill lane.

I have a photocopy from the Wallasey News dated 1919. There is a report in it of my alleged great grandfather jumping into the Mersey to rescue a small boy who had fallen from the pier head. He was always doing things like this, rescuing people I mean.  There are at least two other instances of him going into the river to rescue people although one didn't want rescuing according to reports.  I say alleged Great grandfather as he adopted my grandmother although rumour has it that he might have been her real father?

Getting to the point, I am very curious to try and establish if the young boy he rescued went on to have a long life with possible children and grandchildren who wouldn't be around today if it wasn't for GGF.  According to the newspaper the lad was called Albert Hughes and he lived at 36 Wilton Street. Liverpool.  He was aged eight at the time. 

Is Wilton street still around if not where was it? To all the amateur detectives out there, what can you come up with?
