A day out
Good evening ladies
Today, as I said it would be, was time out with our daughter-in-law Nadine.
I took her over to Liverpool to show her some of the areas where one side of her family ancestors came from. I went to Liverpool through the tunnel at the end of the M53 motorway. I still cannot get to grips with which one that is - name wise I mean. Then we drove along by the Liver Building, & the Albert Docks. Instead of following the main road up Parliament Street (I think it's Lower Parliament Street at that point) - we went along Sefton Road towards the old Jubilee Gardens which are undergoing a make over. One of the roads that were in her family history was off of Sefton Road - but Google maps showed it in 2 different places - but where I thought it was was a dead end road. So we continued on to Otterspool Promenade. Back in the late 1800's one of her ancestors & his family had lived down by the shore just there in the Fisherman's Cottage which in 1933 was taken down & the Mersey Fisheries disappeared. Some of Nadine's family also lived in Jericho Lane which is right by the Otterspool Promenade. I would think that they most probably lived at that end of the lane nearest the shore. I then took a drive towards Toxteth cemetery where we know at least one ancestor is buried - but of course today we had the rain that the weatherman had promised - so we didn't stop. That will be another visit. We finished the day out by taking the non-motorway home - driving along the main road past Liverpool Airport across to Frodsham & home the back way at Chester. A good day - shame it rained. Our next trip will be out towards Anderton in Cheshire where the earlier families came from before going to Liverpool.
We had a phone call from Gareth tonight - he is at home feeling quite poorly - sounds like a nasty cold but he suffers with hay-fever so this weekend's weather will not have been good for him, poor thing.
Tomorrow has to be a stamping day - I am getting withdrawal symptoms.
Hope your day was good too. More tomorrow.
