1918 cWW1 WT or WJ Williams. Penny Lane Liverpool
« on: Tuesday 26 March 24 13:26 GMT (UK) »
Hello RC members

Is it possible to find a WJ or WT Williams and his family living at No. 53 Penny Lane, Liverpool.

WJ Williams served in the Merchant Navy during the Great War.
WJ was possibly born during the 1890's.

He was aboard the SS City of Corinth with my grandfather (a 1st class Marconi, Wireless Officer/ operator, born 1895) when their ship was torpedoed by the German Submarine UB-31, seventy miles south of the Lizard, Cornwall.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards.
Jed

It appears it is now Penny Lane Fish and Chips!

(I spent a student year living two streets away, when there were no street names at the end of Penny Lane because people kept pinching them.  I thought I would check whether they have dared to restore them, which they have.)

It appears that the Williams family were not at 53 for long. Not there in 1911 or 1921.
