I have just found this rather old conversation but thought there may still be some interest in the fisherfolk of Hoose. An ancestor of mine lived in the cottages mentioned opposite the Blue Anchor.  They can clearly be seen at 47/48 on the Tithe map, slide to see a modern map. https://maps.cheshireeast.gov.uk/tithemaps/
Others lived in the cottage opposite Cable Road. Sadly my cousin has lived in Hoylake for most of her life, never knowing that her family came from the same area, the cottages would have been standing when she first moved there.
It is possible some may not know of the tragedy of the 1810 Hoylake lifeboat disaster, three of mine were drowned. http://www.hoylakejunction.com/1810-memorial-statue
