does any one know what Bhd Sravannies is or was in Birkenhead? I have it on 1911 census

That sounds like a mis-reading to me. Can you post a scan, or maybe just all the information you have from the census?

i just dates of birth for family members and 2 have that by them

Ann12, could it be Birkenhead Xaverians? Not sure but think it was a college or school back then.Can't help much further, although someone else will, no doubt. You might find it on Wikipaedia.

Ann,

If you put a persons name, date of birth and area up, I'll find it and have a look.

Seem to remember Xavarians and St Saviours for some reason, don't know where that comes from just something at the back of my mind.
My mistake it was St Xaviers (pronounced Saviours), just had a hunt around. So it must be St Xaviers Old Boys I think.

Earlier, I read and think it was Wikipaedia, that Xavarians was Roman Catholic College, although it didn't mention Birkenhead, therefore, it was possibly used for many R.C Colleges. So your post would be right, I should think.

dont rely on shitapedia what were the commants about the page if any?

Sravannies is the name of a place in County Leitrim, Ireland. The entry next to their birth dates is probably to indicate that they were born there.

Does anyone know the exact location of Taylors Delph in Tranmere?

Not exact because I can't find it on the map I have, it was by Queen St,thats at the bottom of Holt Hill, running into Old Chester Rd.

Taylor's Delph was one of the largest of the stone quarries on Holt Hill. It's clearly named on earlier maps, occupying the area I've outlined on this 1912 Edition OS map.
