Found a link for extensive research
Research away
I have been looking through the maze of history info all day I got lost/caught up in it all
Have fun if its your bag

That is a VERY comprehensive site indeed! Thanks mikeeb.
A great absorber of time I suspect.

I found it this morning and was on it all day
Had to drag myself off it, will go back on it tomorrow
It takes a lot of digging to get to what your after but f eventually found a lot of Wirral history (oddly most of it at US universities)

Start from here if want

http://vlib.iue.it/history/
http://vlib.iue.it/history/europe/uk/uk.html
