a particular area in Liverpool that the Irish lived? I'm trawling through the Liverpool census to see if I can find my ancestors and thought the Irish may well have stuck to together and lived in a particular area, might speed things up for me a bit. You never know. Thanks, Susan

Patricia, I'm looking through the 1871 census, which I don't suppose is any good for you. I don't mind you asking at all. Regards, Susan

Hi Susan, I know there were alot of Irish people living in Birkenhead, in and around the docks area if that helps at all! I've seen many a request for "so and so, born in Ireland last known living in Birkenhead"!!! Hope this helps! Eleanorx
