Thanks everyone for the brilliant replies and advice regarding John ( James ) Mackie.  According to the 1901 census the family lived in Steel street which I cant find on any old map of liverpool - could this have been near athol street as he still worked in the gasworks??

[Lal]

Try this fantastic A-Z of old Liverpool which I found a link to on this forum a few weeks back! Steel Street was right next to the gas works. http://www.liverpoolhistoryprojects.co.uk/liverpoolaz/streets.htm#B

Hi Lal, thanks very much for the A to Z map - you wonderful person  !!!!! cheers  xx

[Lal]

It was Ann In The UK who posted that a few weeks back - I was delighted because I found several streets I'd not been able to place (e.g. Hook Street, Doncaster Street), because half of old Liverpool has been obliterated

This is another good one I found on this forum:
www.scottiepress. org - LOTS of photos on there!

Hi,

I've seen a few mentions of the Athol St Gasworks. My G G Grandfather, William Harding born 1826, came to Liverpool somewhere around 1853 from somewhere in Ireland, and worked as a fireman/stoker until his death in 1884, his son, my G Grandfather, James Harding carried on the tradition, his son William George was another "company man", and retired as manager in the late 40's, early 1950's, and I remember walking down Athol St to visit them. My query is that among the other stokers there's an Irish thread, was there a common place of origin, or did the job availability get passed on through Church etc? They lived around the area in Hopwood St originally, then Orry St etc. St Alban's seems to have been their church.

I can't find my Liverpool born g g Grandmother's family name, and can only find the family on the censuses (Censi?) So I guess the only access to birth/marriage details would be through Church records in Liverpool Archives?
