yeah. My grandfather harry (henry) must also be one of your uncles. Did you meet him? He passed away about 10 years before I was born but I'm researching my family history..which is why I stumbled across this page also looking into the sun inn.
I'd send you a private message but the forum won't let me

Hi Luke, regarding your grandfather Harry .I don't have any information about him although i heard his name mentioned. He was never at any of the family gettogethers so I never met him, yet the rest of the family seemed to like a party.(and a glass or two). I have a lot of information about the rest of the family and if you could email me at [email protected] could give it to you.

Hi, just wanted to add to this thread. I have been researching my familly tree and have found my wifes 2nd great grandfather was the "licensed victualler" at The Sun Inn on the 1881 census. On the 1901 census he was again a "licensed victualler" but at The Caladonia, which i think was 209 Cleveland street. I cant find any info for the 1891 census. Any more info that anyone has or even photos, that would be great.
Thanks, Mike.

Just to add to my post. The Caladonia was at 237 Cleveland Street. This is according to the will of Leonard Roy (my wifes ancestor) who left worth £3640 when he died in 1905. A fair amount of money i think.

Hi Mike, I have started a new thread for the Caledonia here.
https://www.wikiwirral.co.uk/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/1081942.html#Post1081942
It shows a picture of a bombed Caledonia from 207 Cleveland St.
