Catherine Walters of Henderson Street Toxteth

Dear Rob,

I wonder whether you have any information on a relative of mine, Catherine Walters born in Henderson Street, Toxteth Liverpool.  The family history mentions she had quite a life following her move to London in the 1800`s.

43 Hurry Street

According to her birth certificate, my grandmother Elizabeth Foster was born 1/1/1896 when her parents were living at 43 Hurry Street, Toxteth Park. Apparently that street no longer exists but I would like to know approx. where it was and what happened to it.

Thank you in advance,

TAYLOR LIVERPOOL

Dear Historians
Today in the woods next to our house in Oxfordshire I found a small clear glass bottle with a bluish tinge that looks like an old medicine bottle, with the words "TAYLOR LIVERPOOL" stamped on the base. I'm curious to know who Taylors were and whether they were bottle makers (there was a lot of glassmaking near you) or medicine producers. Google has not got me very far except that there is an exotic poison bottle made by Taylors - which my bottle isn't.

Any info please on Taylors. a date for the bottle and what might have been in it? Many thanks

Liver Sketching Club

I am writing the history of the Liver Sketching Club, Liverpool, which was founded in 1872.

The leading founder - and the club's first President - was Samuel Burkinshaw who, at the time, was Art Master at Liverpool Collegiate in Shaw Street. He was born in Yardley, Birmingham, in 1827 and by the 1861 Census, he was an Art Teacher in Liverpool. I have a number of addresses for him in Everton and fairfield. There are many advertismenst in the Liverpool Mercury for his services as an art teacher / teacher of drawing but, as he was so important to the club, I an keen to find out anything I can about him. At the moment, I don't even have the date or place where he died.

Would you be able to assist?

Many thanks.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they remember a glass and bottle works called cooks. My Grandmother used to tell me her family owned it but it was bombed in the war, i'm not sure if it was the first or second war

Goodlass Wall Paint Co. (Liverpool)

Thank you for this opportunity to post,

I'm a Melbourne historian seeking contact with anyone with knowledge of the Goodlass Wall Paint Co.  (Liverpool). The company set up in the Melbourne suburb of Collingwood around 1915 and continued at the site until the mid 1950s.  Around the 1930s or 40s  they expanded their enterprise with a new brick factory at the site.  I am hoping to gain information concerning this expansion but particularly information concerning the architects used by the company for their overseas constructions.  I believe the building concerned was designed by their (Liverpool based? ) English architects.  Would anyone have details concerning architects used by the firm or would anyone have copies of financial reports from the 1930s onwards?.  I'm sure that photographs of the firm's overseas holdings must exist somewhere but I have had no luck in locating any information whatsoever. 

The company was amalgamated some years ago but I have not received any  replies from previous inquiries; perhaps someone at the History Forum could advise more fruitful lines of inquiry.  All information or suggestions gratefully accepted.

Regards,

John Matthews
