I seem to remember the Broster name at Stanton Road School, Bebington, in the early 1940s.

There was a Broster at Birkenhead School in 1948. He was a couple of years ahead of me. Can't remember his first name. I guess he would have been born 1933/4/5.

Awesome roots! Thank you, but I think mine are a little deeper than those.

Hi,
was your grandfather sent to Canada as part of the infamous Home Children scheme.
God help us,
Come yourself,
Don't send Jesus,
This is no place for children.

Just as a matter o interest. A friend of mine went to Landican Cemetry last week to do a search on burials at Bebington and one other church. Had she continued it would have cost £42...so she didn't bother. Is that normal?
Sorry if I'm off topic a bit but it might warn someone.

Hi,
was your grandfather sent to Canada as part of the infamous Home Children scheme. Hi Bert. He emigrated with his parents, James Elmslie and Beatrice Broster.

Sorry if I'm off topic a bit but it might warn someone. Just go to Birkenhead library and pay 60p to use the viewer and all the deaths are recorded there including where buried if applicable. Never heard of anyone being charged unless the staff do the search but stand to be corrected.
