My grandfather must have arrived there in the 1930s. He made the journey after the TB epidemic over in Ireland. A few years later, he sent for my dad and the three other surviving children. Next time I'm in Liverpool, I'm definitely going over to those docks.

Great Work! My 14 yr old GGrandfather Charles Hayes was shipped to Canada from the Liverpool Sheltering Home. Until he died i Toronto he always maintained he was born in Dublin but I tracked back through his father and grandfather (a Carter) living in one court house after another, but not the Dublin one. Some of the descendants lived around same streets as John's father. Even his right off the boat English wife put down Dublin as birth on death certificate as no one knew he was from Liverpool and had big family there. How he faked Irish accent his whole life is beyond me. Many British Home Children in Canada hid their origins because of the stigma. I'm still clearing his trauma from the DNA.

@BrightmoonLiverpool

8 ай бұрын

Oh, that must be hard. What a sad story that is for all those who were shipped off like that. Terrible. I suppose, if he lived around this area, it was where most of the Irish lived, so he would have heard the accent all the time. And there is a lot of the Irish in the Liverpool accent, too. Well done for your research, even if the results are rarely pleasant, it is necessary and I applaud you. Hope it does bring you some healing.

The Tobabcco Warehouse (the world's largest brick building) was built way after the Irish famine, in 1901. It was built on a part of Stanley Dock which was infilled to accommodate the building. The Tobacco warehouse is next to the original warehouse, which is to the south, which was on the original quay, identical to the warehouse on the north quay.

The Lennons came over from County Down but I've never seen anything about where exactly in County Down or anything about their circumstances. The Lennons were warehouse men and shipping clerks in Liverpool and one of them became a catholic priest so they weren't going to be living in a Saltney Street court house for too long. If you look at the census records for where James later lived he did alright for himself in Liverpool and unlike most people at that time they could afford a family grave at Ford Cemetery where James and other family members are buried.

And on his bedroom wall were pics of various musical heroes. This pic, featured in this video, was on the wall. It was an 8x10 glossy. I remember wondering where, exactly, it was taken.
