Mhhm clashes with that ship thing
Dilemma

The ship will be parked all day, wont it?

i dont know, and i dont even know if you can access any near-by location to view it.

I cant go view it anyway a BIG influx of coursework has bogged me down.
Meaning i cannot attend the Village Walk either
Sorry to let anyone down or to make things complicated

But as soon as this is out the way, it leaves me with more time to attend any other Wikiwirral events !

Thanks Guys
Sorry
Mark

no pros bud next time!

any more? yerr today 12noon

GUTTED MAN! NEXT TIME DUDE

Think I will join you. I have a load of work to do at home this morning - clearing up after fitting a new garage door yesterday - but I have set TWO alarms on my mobile to try to remind me !!!

First job of the day is to get the big angle grinder and (try to) cut up the old door so I can take it to the tip. Should be fun. Unless of course anyone WANTS an old up/ over metal door and will take it away.

Breakfast first though

Snod

Im about to do a sausgge butty meself. Fuel for the trek.

how many pix you,s take ???

i didn't manage to get to do any (mobile phone camera's crap because it can only store one or two pic's) but TC, Derek and D.D managed to get a load. btw thanks Derek for giving us a hand. i appreciate it.

Thanks to all for showing up what a great day gang!
good to see some old faces and some new! snodvan top man!
pics coming up soon! the anti-air gun site was a mission!
BIG THANKS AGAIN GANG

NEXT MISSION 26TH ST OSWALDS CHURCH TOWER OPEN DAY

[quote=TRANCENTRAL]Thanks to all for showing up what a great day gang!
n! the anti-air gun site was a mission!
:

my legs are still recovering

Great day gang as per usual.
Fooking knackered, me legs, hips and bum are absolutly killing me but ill be chuckling to myself whenever i pass the gunsite again! That was a trek and
Half that was?? Lol.
Softy- what was the name on the 'leasowe castle' grave+ dates? Im even more intrigued now that am sitting on me arse thinking about it??? Hmmm. Also, thanks for lift x
Did the stayers go see the fella?
Great day.

Good day out, nice quiet stroll

I will try and get the pictures up later, run out of space on my disc drive at the moment.

Thanks gang, exercise does you good

Enjoyed the day. Great company. Looking forward to the next meet. Take care and stay alive.

yes i can say i enjoyed myself now as my legs feel much better, and yes thanks to DD my constant chauffeur.

no we did not started to chuck it down so we got off! will call on the bloke on the 26th for a chat!

Yer saw the rain, we were on the m53 then.
I have never enjoyed a car ride like that before! Tired, aching, feeling mingy and dying for a brew- that car, a careful driver who didnt need directions every 2 seconds-aaah it was bliss! At one point softy thought she would have to serve us with an eviction order to get out the car! Lol. Coz cudnt/ didnt wanna move.

pics first few gang!

Bliss

Adding a few

And a few more

Yer. Loving the pics. Keep 'em coming gang.

OK, try again. I had the captions associated with the wrong photos (which made some of them a bit funny)

nice pics mate

And the next set

And finally

cool pix dude like them all

LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE PULLED MATE

more pics!

These pics are great!!

i renamed pic 'only fools and horses'. Lol

RB strangely if you Google Ann Davies / Leasowe it comes up with an entry which shows the grave stone and inscription but nothing else......
http://www.systemsworld.net/personal/famhist/necropolis/DAVIES.htm

Stranger and stranger.


To explain to others - we saw this gravestone today and thought the inscription was rather strange. It looks like we'll have to do some digging to see if we can find out anything.

Whoah! We got onto something there, girls??
Wayhay 'wiki sisters doing it for themselves'.
Exciting stuff. Thanks softy.
Im buying sues suggestion of her being a maid- we'll see!!

well done angles needs looking in to

Edward CUST became the new owner in 1826- 1878. ? Name change?
Its edward i think we need to learn about because the family forked out for the stone coz she, ann was his mrs.
Funny tho, edward was the son in law of the woman who has a memorial on breck rd- thread somewhere on here.
I got this from www.leasowecastle.com and as a nursury age level historian i'm too excited to read it proper! Lol

NOW THATS VERY INTRESTING WELL DONE GIRLS!

Well....me+ sue 'bailed out' of the bidston basement 'dig' ''coz we're girls and so we dont have to dig+ remove rubble''
- lol so maybe its 'payback'.
3 girlies- we picked up on the 'oddness' of the inscription. Female intuition?!?
Yer, like everything it may turn owt to be nowt but the fun is in the procesß of finding that out....
Ive never researched history before and i am aware that i would be quite capable of getting excited over nuffin so hope the clever wiki people look into it.
Im one step away from a person who would do somersaults over finding 'ann davis' on t'internet -on facebook?
And combust with excitement that theres 'ann davis' on bebo!! Lol.
Hasnt stopped me googling tho!

re: pic 'few of the gang'. Its the best-i fink it captures the mood 'pissed off at the trek but yer its ok, glad im here now'
PLUSONE said it reminds him of an album cover-from the type of 'were cool in a SO non-cool' type band-pmsl. Get wot he means.
[i cant be bothered to logout to log him in to post] anyway, am his wife- i speak for him. Its my job. Pmsl.

i think as were in a gun site in the pic by the look on our faces we look like we are going to be shot

RUN

some more pics

Can someone translate the motto on Clover House

more

Does anyone remember the road thru the village being the main road from Birkenhead to Moreton

YERR nice pics derek!

nice one derek

Wow i have never seen half of these things
i have to go next time !!

down there next 27th sun if you want to pop along?

Great pics derek

ok i've had a go at translating the latin on the coat of arms. and i could only get a few words.
ut= To
vlncio= bind, fetter; restrain;
vir = man; husband; hero; person of courage, honor, and nobility;
verbo= word; proverb; [verba dare alicui => cheat/deceive someone]
llgltur= (i haven't got a clue i think it's a name sorry)

yerr well done mate!

I got it to "Guard the honour which has gone before this is what bonds us together" Vincio surround guard, ver/verso previous page lefthand page, ligitur bond together.I would welcome another take on this as it is a very loose interpretation.

Well done to both of youse.
Anyone got the time/ knowledge/ interest to research 'ann davies+ 'edward davies' with re. To the gravestone that the wiki angels found?

That sounds very plausible. What really threw us was the camel on the Coat of Arms!!!! We were hoping that the text might throw some light - it seems a very strange thing for an Enlgish family to have. I'm guessing they made their money trading with the middle east.

you go girls!

I found a picture of a coat of arms with three cammels on it it was a family name thing of the "cammels" as in lairds. if you think about it he had a cammel as a trade mark.

you got a pic dude?

I"m sorry I did"nt think to keep it. I did find one of a cammel in a too too which I did keep.I can"t put it on till I catch up with my subs no account. I will see if I can find it again in my history

Ref Ann and David Davies A Stan Davies still lives at yew tree cottage and the family have lived in the area for hundreds of years info came from http.//www.mikekemble.com/mside/bidston.html if you go to the bottom of the page which is interesting enough you will find an enquirey from Australia with ref to the Davies and the fact they are buried in the church grounds

Sometimes you don't see what is staring you in the face!
So simple when you think about it!!!

nice digging bud!

Wow. Brill stuff. Great finds-thanks. Im on a flying visit here atm, part of me wishes i should have left it til later, wont be able to stay focused now. Lol

great news! Theres an email to contact the ancestor. Any volunteers?
I'll do it otherwise. Im just a bit unsure how to word it plus it would take me forever, with being on a phone.
Really excited about this development. Way-hay!

Ok. No takers. I'm doing it now. Fingers crossed gang!

Spot on RUDE let us know what happens?

Done it. T.c ill forward you the email. Hang on.

Just read it now queen looks spot on to me

fankoo! Just hope she replies. Its about 3.30 am in oz, i think.
We'll just have to wait...

Go Girl!!!!
Sorry I've not been much help!
x

i would have had a go but our internet keeps screwing up (some dns error or something) good job though rudebox.

Paranoidballoon did the main legwork. Well done+ thanks pb

yerr a big thanks to paranoldballon
the bad news is your now officially a member of the team

This is on the cover of an official Cammell Laird history dated 1959.

good find! anyone in the book with that name?

Are we getting confused here????
We're looking for the connection between the Clover family and Cammell Laird and the connection between Ann & Edward Davies and Leasowe castle - yes?????

read somewhere Clover was a shipbuilder and there was a Clover dock in Birkenhead

Have asked various people about the motto on house - no joy yet

There was/is a Clover Trust registered to a charity which gave money to people who were in need within 10miles of Bidston village
Rang the person whose name was on it but spoke to his widow
who didn't know the meaning of the motto
May meet her at 25 Sept Bidston tour

Clover dock was taken over by Cammell Laird

http://www.shipsnostalgia.com/showthread.php?t=24184&highlight=clover

think its the sunday 27th derek

ref coat of arms http://www.college-of-arms.gov.uk/
Arms from the Fenwick roll.originally compiled in the reigns of Henry v/ v1 so named because Fenwick had his life and his coat of arms taken out for nauhgty deeds against the king..There is a picture of that camel and another one with two camels next to it, a marriage maybe. There is what looks like names below but are to small to make out.This should work towards a date and name for the masonary

No mention of Clover in the book. I only meant to show the fact that a camel was the official emblem of CL at that time.

good find pb

church is open both days i think?
i have to work the sat

village has a fair on sat 26th with bell ringing and history fair and walks donkey rides ect, sounds like a good family day out gang!

some info church farm has a window without glass on the south gable wall the leads to a room without a door?

I have had a reply from the lady in Oz. Unfort. The link was broken- to Ann Davies gravestone and so as yet she cannot verify whether she is related. I have replied inviting her to join our site and she would be able to find the link here.

spot on.

nice work RUDE

T.c- perhaps you could email her the thread, coz your userplus?? Just a thought!

will give it a go!

Ah, that's a shame. It was worth a try though. Good on ya!
x

I cant understand why the damn link not work. I checked and double checked that i had copied it EXACT

might be user plus or somthing have sent a link to her no reply yet! when i see mark i will pay ya user plus if ya want?

How much is that t.c?

i payed £3 last night rude.

Ta kimpri1. Ok tc authorised! Cheers.

any more on this

Not yet sue ;-c

not to long till the church tower is opened isn't it?

Think its 26th-27th sep

this sat bidston village fair 10 am

I wonder whether the following excerpt from 'Almost an Island-The story of Wallasy' by Noel E. Smith is relevent????

Lady Cust used to attend Bidston church making the journey (from Leasowe castle) to Bidston along Reeds Lane. She would ride in a yellow curricle with outriders in attendance. The servants would also go with her. At the chirch she acted as a sort of banker, with whom the village folk could deposit their savings. At the rear of the church there was a small folding desk behind which she would sit.

Lady Cust was a woman of good Christian character and did wahat she could to help those who were un- fortunate enough th get ship- wrecked in wallasey. She was responsible for setting up the Dennets Rocket Equipment in a small hut close to the shore, where rockets could be fired to save the lives of people from a wrecked vessel.

Hmmmm??

To explain to others - we saw this gravestone today and thought the inscription was rather strange. It looks like we'll have to do some digging to see if we can find out anything.[/quote]

Hmmmm?? [/quote]

Don't go digging around the grave!

Sounds possible Rude

Yes! i thought it sounded plausible!

There might be something about her in the church? Ask the vicar.
