Liverpool, SS Majestic, White Star Line 1890 (ref: 26624a)
Year: 1890s to a new life
My greatgrandfather Patrick Matthews, his second wife Mary Ann (Smith) together with their daughter Rose sailed on the maiden voyage of the Majestic to New York in April 1890. Patrick was from Cootehill, CountyCavan, Ireland. In 2005 I found his descendants living in Florida. My husband and I flew to America for a holiday and met our new cousins.

  Year: 1957 My time in Liverpool
My memory of Liverpool was living in number 12 Kensington Rd near the corner of Hall Lane where the post office was. My parents' landlady was Mrs Elizabeth Smith, I think she was Tommy Smith's mother? I remember my father taking me & my sister to St John's Gardens on weekends and to Otterspool until a tragic accident involving a young lady on a pushbike and a car? I remember the New Brighton ferry at the pier head. And I remember my dad taking me in the company (Otis) truck going to Birkenhead through the Mersey Tunnel. Thanks...

Liverpool, the 'Empress of England' leaving Liverpool c1958 (ref: L60034)
Year: 1958 my coming to Canada
We sailed across the Atlantic on the Empress of England from Liverpool to Montreal, first arriving in Quebec City on Oct 30, 1958. It makes me wonder if this photo is of that same voyage!! I would love to obtain a passenger list. My parents are now deceased and I would like to have it as a keepsake. Our family name is BOULOUX.  My father was sick the whole trip. My favorite memory was in the playroom where they had this rocking horse. I was 5 years old and to me, this horse was huge. I was scared to get on it at first but then I would scream if I had to get off it to give another kid a turn.  The horse was made of wood and was white and black. I also remember going up to the stern. The captain was there, dressed in white. We could see 2 whales in the water up ahead. Through this round window, they appeared so bold and beautiful and even at age 5, I appreciated their strength and beauty.  Our cabin had 2 sets of bunk beds, my father slept on the top left as you came into the room.  The room was quite small.  The hallway was very narrow and as we edged along, we always had to hang on to the rails as the ship rocked from side to side.  Up on deck, was cold and there were these wooden white deck chairs. I don't remember being out there long.  It seems now  a lifetime ago.......  I have read the history of this great ship and am proud to have sailed  on one of her journeys.

Liverpool, the Provisional Cathedral 1890 (ref: 26665)
Year: 1900s part of my heritage
this is where my great-grandparents Thomas Hugh Roberts and Annie Corcoran married in 1903. I have their marriage certificate which has a drawing of the church on the top.
he was sadly killed in an accident at Waterloo Goods Station in 1912.

there used to be a cross in the pavement outside HMV commemorating the church. I hope it's put back when the refurbishment of the building is finished.
