Oh dear. I may have led you up the garden path - perhaps Pollock St was not yet built in 1851?

The writing in the baptism register is such a scrawl, but I have trawled through several pages in which the mystery address appears for numerous baptisms.

I now think it might be Tatlock St.

Pollock Street is West Derby district not Liverpool.

Will now look for Tatlock Street

No worries avm228,

I'm happy for any and all suggestions. The interesting thing about Tatlock Street is that is was very close to Raymond Street. So...

I'll be back after a seach...

Cheers Heywood,

I think Tatlock is looking like a much more likely candidate (and that writing in the register was basically a scrawl. Points to anyone who can make anything at all out of it - lol).

Hah-Ha! I think I've found them at 18 Tatlock Street.

Transcribed as follows;

John Simes - 39 (1812) - Ireland - Sugar Baker
Piece: 2177
Folio: 546
Page Number: 7

I couldn't have found them without all your help. Cheers everyone.

Chuffed, Rowan Tree

I have John on my database as Linus (1861) and also as Simes (1851), but would never have considered them to be the same person.

Having read this topic, I’ve now studied the 1851 enumerator’s writing (on cd) and feel that it may well say Linus. If you look at the entry for the first of the lodgers, Edward King, there is almost no difference between the S of Simes and the L of Lodger, and there are similar examples on adjoining pages.
